Description of problem: My initial search started after I often had visual artifacts after leaving suspend. I suspected this was because it's using XWayland. Thanks to the very helpful https://mastransky.wordpress.com/2019/02/08/thunderbird-for-wayland/ I found out you can easily run Thunderbird on Wayland. I think Thunderbird should, like Firefox, default to using Wayland. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): thunderbird-102.8.0-1.fc36.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Thunderbird 2. Start Thunderbird on a Wayland session 3. Run xlsclients Actual results: thunderbird runs on XWayland Expected results: Thunderbird is not an X client because it uses native Wayland support Additional info: thunderbird-wayland exists, but I'd expect this to be the default.
We'll switch that for next ESR line release (115.0 and so on).
Thanks! After switching to the Wayland backend for a while I can also confirm that my Thunderbird crashes/visual artifacts after unsuspending my laptop have gone away and that's much more stable for me.

I didn't check, but given you said next ESR I think it still applies to F38 and I'd like to keep this open.
See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2193245 for a similar issue under Wayland.
(In reply to Martin Stransky from comment #1) > We'll switch that for next ESR line release (115.0 and so on). I see Thunderbird on Fedora 38 was updated to the next ESR, but I still see the separate desktop entry. Is there technical reason this hasn't happened yet, or was it forgotten?
Closely related to bug#2244508 (tbird-wayland should be the package visible in the GUI installer, not tbird-without-wayland)
> We'll switch that for next ESR line release (115.0 and so on). Hello from the future! I just want to note that thunderbird-wayland is a bit annoying to use right now, since the two packages show up as "Thunderbird on ..." and "Thunderbird" in the GNOME app search results, and there's no way to tell which is which. They even have the same icon.
thunderbird-wayland will be removed with TB 128.0 rebase where TB will run natively on Wayland. thunderbird-wayland is kind of testing/experimental one right now.
