This might be old news, but Ubunt 24.0.X can still run X11 https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/how-to-switch-from-x11-to-wayland-on-live-ubu... CodeLight is no longer seems to lock up and a Steam/wine game I play seems to start without errors. I have not spent much time testing this.
Yeah! I'm still not convinced that wayland is better. I've got a number of apps that are just broken on wayland still. Tim. On Sun, Apr 6, 2025 at 9:10 PM Kevin Stratton via WLUG <wlug@lists.wlug.org> wrote:

I ran into this just in the past few weeks. I got a new desktop system for home and installed Ubuntu 24.10 (?) as a test, usualy I use linux Mint for my desktop. Anyway... x2go wouldn't work when connecting to another system, so I googled a bit and figured out I needed to change my desktop to use X11 instead of Wayland. Once I did that, it was ok. I can dig up details if people need them. John
I'd never even heard of X2go! These days I'm a heavy user of NoMachine <https://nomachine.com>. Tim. On Tue, Apr 8, 2025 at 12:38 PM John Stoffel via WLUG <wlug@lists.wlug.org> wrote:

x2go is the opensource fork off the last NoMachine client. I love using it, it's quick and fast and works nicely. It just fails miserably on Wayland right now. With 95% of most linux users only using desktops or laptops, and not doing remote desktops across WAN connections, they don't realize how poor wayland is for that type of work. I'm not even sure if Wayland works ok for LAN based remote desktops, though mostly I think VNC works ok for that.

I'm not aware of any VNC client for KDE on Wayland, anyway (rather annoying that each compositor has to reimplement the same functionality).
