|    Wayland versus X11?    |
|    13 Sep 22 21:36:00    |
      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?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
