I’m old school Xorg, but want to give Wayland a go. The application that has me stymied is VMware Horizon client . It explicitly doesn’t support Wayland, but shouldn’t it work under Xwayland? How do I explicitly make it run with that, and not fail telling me Wayland isn’t supported?

    Despite the fact that reddit is reddit, you have to give it credit for all the answers it has to linux questions.

      Unfortunately I still get “The display server protocol that you are using is not supported.” when I set the environment variable. Other ideas?

    To quote the wayland arch wiki page

    Xwayland is started via a compositor, so you should check the documentation for your chosen compositor for Xwayland compatibility and instructions on how to start Xwayland.
