I installed Ubuntu 24.04 with Gnome / Wayland recently and installed XFCE additionally with lightdm. When checking my graphics I get
Graphics:
Device-1: AMD driver: amdgpu v: kernel
Display: x11 server: X.Org v: 21.1.11 with: Xwayland v: 23.2.6 driver: X:

When booting a Xubuntu live iso however I'm getting:
Graphics:
Device-1: AMD driver: amdgpu v: kernel
Display: x11 server: X.Org v: 21.1.11 driver: X: loaded: amdgpu

So, the Ubuntu XFCE session still uses Xwayland while the Xubuntu session is a pure x11 session. Is there any way to get rid of Xwayland or is it ok to just leave it? Is there any drawback when using Ubuntu with XFCE compared to Xubuntu?
