- Crinus 7y agoOnly the "ShooterImage" component relies on Xorg (the other components work regardless of window system). Note that the reason Wayland isn't affected is because the malware doesn't use the API needed for taking screenshots.
- simion314 7y ago>Ubuntu now default to Wayland. I think Ubuntu changed their minds and went back to Xorg, also Wayland+GNOME Shell has the terrible issue where the shell crashes would bring down your session and you lose all your work. Debian just switched to Wayland so in the fallowing months we will see the effects, it could be a new pulse audio situation where you will get a lot of "fixes" starting by removing Wayland.
- opencl 7y agoOnly 17.10 defaulted to Wayland, all older and newer versions default to xorg.
