   I can agree with that.

   Since I only ever do actual fresh Ubuntu installs about once per decade   
   (preferring to upgrade from prior versions instead), I usually don't end   
   up with different display servers/ desktop environments.  This time   
   though, since the upgrade didn't go very well, decided to do a fresh   
   install of 22.04 on my laptop, although the desktop upgraded fine.  The   
   closer I could keep the original appearance to the new, the better   
   because it is what I was used to.   
      
   It sounds to me like you're saying that KDE, Gnome, etc are used under   
   one of the display servers (Wayland, etc)?  If so, then the "desktop   
   environment" would have to be compatible with the "display server"?  If   
   so, that's probably why I couldn't get Unity to run correctly with   
   Wayland.   
      
   In any case, all fixed now.  I'm sticking with the basics, Wayland, and   
   whatever natively comes with it.  I'll get used to the slight   
   differences between it and my other PC which still used the same desktop   
   environment since I only upgraded and didn't do a fresh install.   
      
   I just need Ubuntu to work for business purposes (and some pleasure but   
   not the primary purpose).  The more I have to tinker around with it, the   
   more I lose out.
