I installed 22.2 on my laptop, installed waydroid, it failed to launch, so i logged out, selected ubuntu on wayland, and waydroid works in that DE.

I installed 22.2 on my friend's laptop(way older), and 3 cinammon DEs were included but not the ubuntu DEs, so i can't open waydroid on the second laptop.

I don't remember installing cinnamon any differently in the first or second laptop, did i somehow install ubuntu DEs on cinammon on the first laptop?

I tried cinammon on wayland, but it launches into n unresponsive black screen.

Awesome thank you! I will try trixie first, this thing has an HDD and i liked how responsive it was with the bookworm live environment.

First I'm hearing about antix! i just checked out their site and I'll definitely try a live usb of antix as well.

Thanks, that really helps.

    You're welcome!

    Trixie won't be much different though it's better to use something as lightweight as possible because of the HDD. However you can still use something with Wayland unless its CPU or GPU is too old. antiX is Debian based but it uses X11, at least it was like that last time I used. It's really great if the PC is too old.

    I think you can even install KDE with Debian Trixie. If Wayland would be problematic (probably won't) you can still use X11 with it. At least until its next big release which they will drop X11 support entirely.
