Did you have xwayland installed as well as wayland ? It is supposed to make X dependent apps work under wayland.
My experience with Ventoy too. When you need it most, it fails. I now stick to one distro per flash drive… small drives are cheap.
Glad its not just me thats given up on ventoy and gone back to carrying several usb with linux on each of them. I had put it down to my user error or faulty media.
The last thing you need when there is trouble is additional complications from a faulty diagnostic tool.
I specialise in linux mint rather than offering a choice to clients who coming from windows dont know any better and want something that looks almost the same. But I always carry 3 copies of mint lmde, mate and cinnamon, plus in my workshop I have the same 3 versions. Also xfce just in case of low memory older machines and a copy if puppy. So 8 different usb but almost tge same on them all. Under the bench is my cd box with the same in again and a debian and ubuntu rarely needed.
Belt and braces approach.
The ventoy I bought a 64 gb usb with the idea of all on one. But it now sites with the others almost empty with just lmde on it.
But cost is so small now no issue
To all my friends
I apologize in advance for being absent a lot, but I’ve been out of time.
My friend Howard,
I’ve already written a few times on the forum my opinion on which distro I use or like, but after a lot of pondering on your topic and because every day I want to know a little more, I see that your question isn’t easy to answer and I can’t give you a straight answer, so here’s what I think at the moment.
I started with Mandrake and from 2006 to 2010 I used Debian exclusively.
I went back to Windows and like you, 5-6 years ago I wanted to go back to Linux for good and I was recommended Mint.
I started with MATE, but I had some problems that stressed me out and I moved on to Cinnamon which is what I use as my main distro on my desktop PC.
Now comes the hard part to explain…
On my laptop I’ve installed Manjaro with KDE and I don’t want to switch to another distro.
On the server I’ve installed Debian without a graphical environment and it’s to be maintained.
On the system I use to work exclusively with audio, I use Debian with Xfce and, for the time being, it’s to be kept.
Why so many different distros and graphic environments depending on what I want to do?
I honestly can’t explain it. How can I not explain it if I choose what to install and how to install it?
The only way I can explain it is through László’s answer:
but adapted to my case:
“I try to wear the best shoes or the best jacket”, depending on what I want to do, that I can provide the necessary support to keep the distro functional, but above all, that I enjoy using for its intended purpose.
That’s my honest opinion at the moment. I hope it’s in line with your question

Hi Jorge,
Good to hear you are still with us.
I think people like variety. If there are several different ways of doing something, most of us will explore them.
but
People also have a tolerance limit to change. Most of us like to have one distro that is a bit of an anchor of stability
and
There is also historical aspect. If you learn with say a Debian based distro, you are less likely to go wandering outside the Debian family. Same applies to DE’s. I have trouble escaping the BSD mentality, because that was my alma mater.
We are fortunate to have so much choice.
Regards
Neville

Interesting @abhishek article in the latest newsletter
Welcome back jorge always appreciate your contributions
Hey, @daniel.m.tripp I can attest that input leap does work on Wayland. It worked in Fedora and it also works on my two Garuda OS machines that I only use Wayland with. Before I lent my mini pc to my mom, it had EndeavourOS and it worked there as well.
I did read on the Arch package here that it had been abandoned and someone took over that last July, but a new release was just 3 months ago on Github.
I got my package on Garuda installed a year ago and it is still working with my LM & MX Linux machines. I use those three to share both a single keyboard and my mouse. At one time, I had 6 connected in barrier and it got a bit difficult switching L R U D and at an angle, or even moving past one to another. 
I have also used Barrier on a non-Wayland and it connected with the Wayland display that was using input-leap. So they are compatible.

Yeahh true… Its super powerful…
You can customise xfce a lot, do that it looks liks windows or macos layout or basically any layout u like…
I think i have mentioned it before, but u can check my vajra linux repo for the mac or windows layouts…
I google searched that and came up with something (e.g. r3curs1v3-pr0xy (Bipul Jaiswal) · GitHub) that didn’t look like your stuff mate… Can you repost the link?

Some of the third party stuff I use is installed via apt (dpkg actually) from DEB files like Synergy KVM and ResilioSync.

Hi, @wicklowham
When I installed ResilioSync, I followed the instructions here.
They do give instructions for manual, respository & docker image. I used the manual method:
Hope that helps.
Sheila
It’s not part of any debian based distro default repository I’m aware of…
You can get it from the vendor by adding their repo something like :
echo "deb http://linux-packages.resilio.com/resilio-sync/deb resilio-sync non-free" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/resilio-sync.list
wget -qO- https://linux-packages.resilio.com/resilio-sync/key.asc | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/resilio-sync.asc > /dev/null 2>&1
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install resilio-sync
But I haven’t done it like that for a while now so I’m not sure I can recommend that - I don’t know if that still works…
I just go to their downloads page and grab the DEB package files and install with dpkg :
e.g.
sudo dpkg -i resilio-sync_3.0.1.1414-1_amd64.deb
Annoyingly they stopped developing the 3.x source tree for FreeBSD - but thankfully the 2.6x FreeBSD binaries still work with 3.x on Linux and MacOS…
I have used it on Windows before - but - not for some time…
Ahhhhh shyte! Looks like you can only download binaries as compressed tar archives these days! Doh! When did they start doing that?
You used to be able to grab DEB installers!
OK - here’s a direct link to Linux distro packages :

Sorry Foss. There is no solution / correct answer. I should have placed this topic under General Discussion instead of General Linux Question.
Oh , thanks. Now I understand why we sometimes get these ridiculous requests to mark a solution to a non-problem topic.
