Switching from wayland to x11 on xfce

[cdkw2]

After enough of me hitting my head against the wall I have decided to switch to x11 from wayland. This apparently fixes my issue of discord and obs not not recognizing other applications for screen share as I have seen in other forum threads. Can somebody please tell me how can I switch to x11 from wayland? Do I need to reinstall endeavour os or is the change just some clicks away in soem config file? I am running xfce on a Ideapad i3-12th gen with integrated intel graphics. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

AFAIK Xfce doesn’t have Wayland support yet, so the default for Xfce is still X11. Open a terminal and run the following and share the output. env | grep -Ei "wayland|x11"

As of 2024-06-19T22:00:00Z Xfce doesn’t support a Wayland session.

However, they are planning to do so at some point in the future.

@cdkw2

I am running xfce

Check what is your current desktop:

echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP

but I remember that on my last post about screen sharing everyone told me that the reason is that I am using wayland

Discord not recognizing individual windows on EndeavourOS

So basically I have no complaints with endeavour os but when I attend a meet or a discord call and need to present something it doesnt show the applications separately. Discord or any other video call app just doesn’t acknowledge the fact that I have other windows open. Here’s a example: [image] [image] so I do have like vs code and stuff open in the taskbar but still it was not picked up. I am using a xfce desktop with chicago95 skin on it btw. Please help it would be appreciated.
