Does PureOS use Wayland or Xorg? (Screensharing on PureOS)

Software PureOS

Currently Debian with GNOME and Wayland has issues with screensharing, while Ubuntu GNOME does not due to still using Xorg.

I’m curious if PureOS uses Xorg still like Ubuntu, or does it use Wayland like Debian now does?

Also, has anyone tried using screensharing on PureOS and had much success? If so, what setup are you using to accomplish it?

PureOS uses Wayland by default, but you can easily switch back and forth between both at the login screen.

I have not done any screensharing on my device so can’t help you there!
