Dismay about Wayland & Ubuntu Gaming

The major flaw of destroyed wayland in 17.3 annoyed me much. Will install my gaming machine to some LTS next weekend, to get functional wayland back.

But when a format-c is required anyway, i will take my learning lesson hard and switch to Ubuntu LTS 24. We talk about April 2024 when 24 LTS has appeared.

OP's post is not about OS installation, moved to Chat About Zorin.


So friday i took the time to run a usb fresh install on / but keeping the 3 existing user profiles in /home that all crashed to GDM with wayland session in 17.2 and 17.3.
With Zorin 18 all 3 profiles have no problem to use Wayland or X11 as it would be expected from a selector. So Canonical is right with the term "wayland in jammy is broken, we suggest to update to noble".
It's not required to delete whole user profiles, they work with newer wayland.
