   But; my point is that the /purpose/ of the menu is to enable the user to   
   choose, so if you want to get rid of the menu, you are getting rid of   
   the choice.   
      
   That's 'fine' -- but it means that the choice needs to be made ahead of   
   time.   
      
   Historically, xorg has been the display.  Developmentally it has taken   
   Wayland a very long time to work its way in and is still a work in   
   progress.  From a practical perspective, personally I don't really 'care   
   about' the difference.  There are 'complicated' articles which discuss   
   the details of the 'architectural' difference in the display tech.   
      
   If you just want to 'blindly' disable the choice, one method would be to   
   disable Wayland instead of disabling xorg.   
      
   My understanding is that you can do that in   
      
   /etc/gdm3/custom.conf   
      
   WaylandEnable=false   
      
   I'll experiment w/ a live Ub 22.04 and see.
