I read posts that said you can switch at the login screen. But I have not option to switch there.

xorg

  1. On the lock screen,

    1. Once clicked on the password field or after typing your password, look for the cog wheel on the right bottom corner & click on it
    2. Once clicked, you will be presented with two options - Click on the needed mode
      • Ubuntu (Wayland - the default)
      • Ubuntu on XOrg (The second mode - your expected option)
    3. Then just sign-in - You would be logged in to the session on the mode selected

    Hope this helps :)

  2. You can enable the X using the terminal. Open the terminal and run the command:

    $ sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf

    there you will find

    WaylandEnable=true

    change it to

    WaylandEnable=false

    And restart the system.

    Or you can do the same by following the instructions given in this link here under GNOME heading. Release Notes
