Hello Zorin community,
When I log in to the desktop using X11 and open Conky, the minimize and expand window buttons appear alongside the close button at the top.
Why is this happening? What will I lose if I switch permanently to an X11 session? Will all applications work on it? What is the highest RAM consumption threshold?
Everything will Work.
X11 Is the standard stable Display Protocol.
Wayland is an experimental unstable Display Protocol.
There is much that does not work on Wayland, including Rermmina and Nvidia.
When You are on Wayland, did You checked in gnome-tweaks if the Settings for the min/max/close Buttons are resetted? Maybe this happened because of the switch.
In common I would say: When you are using Zorin and a Nvidia Card X11 is the better Choice. Using Programs depends from the individual Program.
