Is anybody else really fucking pissed off that Ubuntu 25.10 with the default Gnome desktop has dropped Xorg support completely, and forces you to use Wayland?

Synergy is completely busted with Wayland. This simply won't do. 😾

Guess it's time to install XFCE or LXDE. Dang. Absolute bullshittery.

Didn’t Synergy have experimental Wayland support? Thought I saw that as a blog post a while ago

They do, but... it's experimentally totally fucking broken with 25.10. Sigh. Even before 25.10, it was buggy as fuck and I had to turn Wayland off.

I really wish they'd look to properly support Wayland.

You could use the many other desktops available, like KDE Plasma, XFCE, LXDE. Those still support Xorg. I'll likely do the same soon as I get some time.

I do like the minimalism of XFCE, maybe I'll even try LXDE for kicks.

Yup, hoping on the same. I’m getting back into Ubuntu after a while soon so that’s good to know but equally annoying.
