Here is a small tip: You can check for Wayland or Xorg (X11) Linux or Unix desktops using the CLI. You can use these commands to check if a user is running X11 (Xorg) or Wayland on Linux, and then take a specific action such as installing a package (such as Kinto that only works on X11) or aborting the installation. All you have to do is type:

```
echo "$XDG_SESSION_TYPE"
env | grep -E -i 'x11|xorg|wayland'
```

See cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-check- for more info.
