Linux distributions that do not use
Wayland by default typically rely on the older X11 (Xorg) display server, often driven by the use of desktop environments like Cinnamon, MATE, or XFCE. Examples include Linux Mint, Devuan, and sometimes Debian (if not using GNOME), which are preferred for stability, proprietary Nvidia driver support, or traditional desktop workflows.

Distros and Environments Avoiding Wayland
Linux Mint: Primarily uses X11 with the Cinnamon desktop.
Devuan: A fork of Debian that deliberately avoids systemd and focuses on X11.
MX Linux: Known for stability, generally sticking with Xfce and X11.
Xubuntu/Lubuntu: Light-weight flavors that default to X11.
Debian (Stable): While it supports Wayland, it frequently defaults to X11 on older hardware or specific desktop environments.
KDE Plasma distributions that do not default to Wayland and still support X11 include
Kubuntu, Tuxedo OS, and older versions of Arch-based systems, although many are transitioning to Wayland-only (e.g., Fedora KDE). Users can typically select the X11 session at the login screen, even if the distro ships with both.
