From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is stupid and probably ignorant too, but I couldn’t get RDP dynamic window resizing to work on Wayland no matter what I tried and went back to gnome which works great.
Gnome isn't orthogonal to Wayland.
You'd need to check if you were using the X11 or Wayland session of Gnome
Ok.. ? Then it was X11 that worked not Wayland.. ffs
Gnome has defaulted to Wayland for a long time, so it sounded more like you had an issue with a different desktop environment, not X11 vs Wayland
