Mmm, im not happy about this. Rn there is a bug affecting amd gpus on gnome wayland that crashes the entire desktop. A fix is hoped to arrive in kernel v6.6, but until then ive been using xorg as a fallback.

I understand its gonna take a while until xorg is fully gone from gnome, but ive grown kind to having such fallback whenever wayland has a nasty issue.
- My hope is, when the legacy code has been removed from the code base there is more focus and capacity on improving Wayland.
