How to switch Ubuntu to Xorg from Wayland
This quick tutorial shows you how to switch between Xorg and Wayland display servers on Ubuntu. While visually there’s no difference, Wayland is newer and may cause compatibility issues with some applications. Fortunately, you can switch between them easily depending on your needs.
Step-by-step Instructions
Restart your Ubuntu system. At the login screen, below the password field, click on the gear icon. You’ll see two options appear:

- Ubuntu: Uses the default Wayland display server
- Ubuntu on Xorg: Switches to the Xorg display server
Select Ubuntu on Xorg from the list and then log in.
All set! You are now running Ubuntu with Xorg.
