Wait

Ubuntu uses GNOME. Xwayland is one of GNOME’s dependencies. meaning apt bricked your GNOME for no apperent reason???

Though if your dm breaks, you should still be able to log into a TTY and start your desktop manually. This is what I do for my Hyprland install, since I don’t see a reason to use a dm personally.

Meanwhile me who uses Wayland and only has the absolute necessary packages installed to make Xwayland work.

Sway… Just behaves weird at times. The tiling just never feels right and it never seems to do exactly what I want. Hyprland just feels better in its behavior. And it has cool animations!
