With Ubuntu 25.10 “Questing Quokka,” we are taking a significant step forward in the evolution of the Ubuntu Desktop by removing the Xorg-based Ubuntu session. Starting with this release the “Ubuntu” session in GDM will run exclusively on Wayland. This decision follows upstream GNOME’s roadmap and aligns with our long-term strategy of delivering a secure, performant, and modern desktop experience. Why We’re Making This Change Over the past several cycles, the Wayland experience has matured sig...

    Finally, the end of “it doesn’t work on Wayland” is in sight. Just in time for Windows 10 EoL too

      It’s not the end of “it doesn’t work on Wayland”, just the end of an alternative that does work in such circumstances. That said, since explicit sync was merged into the Nvidia drivers, I’ve had no problems with Wayland / Plasma.

        Getting ready for Zoom to have instructions to install i3 rather than fixing their Wayland support.

          Is using the web version no longer possible? And: Will Xwayland not help you with that?

            I don’t use Zoom enough to know, but it probably still works.

            My last experience with the Zoom app on Wayland (a few months ago?) required me to do a manual config file change to launch the app properly. And Zoom says they fixed the screen sharing options, not sure how true that is.

              I seem to vaguely remember it working on Hyprland a while back, though it’s possible I’m misremembering things. Also, idk about it on Nvidia.

      I live in fear of distros like Debian shipping ancient drivers and having to listen to 3 more years of people saying Wayland does not work. Debian 13 may ship with NVIDIA 535 drivers.
