I know I can stop using Wayland if I log out and change the setting, but I don't want to keep having to log out each time Ubunutu updates. Every time Ubuntu gets updated it enables Wayland again. I want to permenetly disable Wayland so it will never be used on my computer.

I selected Xorg instead of Wayland according to the following link in my Ubuntu Desktop 22.04 LTS (now automatically 22.04.1 LTS).

Method to switch from Wayland to X (to make Firefox work)

Edit the configuration file,

sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf

to uncomment [remove # from] the line containing

WaylandEnable=false

save the file (ctrl + x and after that y ('yes') or another key for non-English and finally Enter) and reboot.

This system has been updated & upgraded several times and it is still using Xorg.
