I downloaded the 18.04.1 LTS, installed it over my existing 16.04 LTS
installation. It never prompted me about choosing between Wayland or X.
When I added XFCE4 to it after 18.04.1 was successfully installed, XFCE
either wouldn't start or it would freeze up. It still doesn't get along
with the Gnome3 privacy screen, either.
I found this post:
https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-disable-wayland-and-enable-xorg-display-server-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux
Where it states that the default Ubuntu 18.04 BB installation comes
with
Wayland enabled, and you need to disable Wayland to use X instead.
I would have been more inclined to believe the official Ubuntu Blog post
but if that wasn't your experience how can I argue. I've only installed
the Studio and the Xubuntu versions of 18.04 which I'm pretty sure were
Xorg...
And the official Ubuntu Wiki also says Xorg is the default, you have to
select/enable Wayland.
