PopOS which runs GDM3 and is currently Ubuntu 22.04 uses X11 by default, not Wayland.

dpkg --list|grep libwebkit !463
ii libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37:amd64 2.46.3-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 amd64 Web content engine library for GTK

I still see all of the stack traces from the other issues. Is SWT 4966R5 in this latest Hop.

Hop 2.10 and Hop 2.11 use SWT 3.127.0

Forgive me, this is not an area I understand well. Ubuntu 22.04 includes libswt-gtk-4-java and the package url looks like it has version 4.2. Does Hop 2.10 and Hop 2.11 using SWT 3.127 mean that there is incompatibility? If so, do I need to install an older version of some kind of SWT for Java or does Hop need to upgrade to the later SWT versions packaged with stable distros? Basically, what is required to run Hop without problems on Linux?

are you using the default Gnome or another desktop environment on your Pop!_OS system?

[usbrandon]

PopOS uses COSMIC which seems based upon GNOME desktop, but has probably diverged from Gnome over time. It is not default Gnome.
