   wAYNE to All   
   Wayland versus X11?

   From: none@nowhere.net   
      
   So today, I decided on another adventure this time freshly installing   
   the latest 22.04 on my desktop.  You may recall last week that I simply   
   did an upgrade initially from 18.04, but I thought I'd go ahead and try   
   a fresh install.  All proceeded fairly smoothly and then I found that   
   some of my apps wouldn't work.  One even had a message saying that it   
   wasn't compatible with Wayland and to switch to X11 instead; another   
   astronomical app wouldn't display correctly as I couldn't see my cursor.   
     After browsing the net, a suggestion I came across was to simply alter   
   the config file to force reboot into X11.  I was originally going to try   
   it at log in, but I didn't see any option for selecting anything   
   present.  Anyway, so now I'm on X11 and the two apps that weren't   
   working now are.  However, what's the difference between X11 and Wayland   
   as I don't see anything visually?
