Mainly a command like "sudo apt install steam" would trigger xorg and other essential packages for removal. The system attempted to alert the user by asking them to confirm with "yes I want that" in the terminal, though this scenario should have been avoided entirely. On Ubuntu, installing Steam as a standalone .deb file usually prompted "sudo apt --fix-broken install," but it never encouraged destroying the entire desktop.
This seems like a mix-up of concepts. It wasn't about replacing Xorg with Wayland, but rather discussing virtualization options and possibly a specific setup or question about PopOS and VirtualBox.
After watching the video, they seem to have resolved the issue, so attempt to execute it on an unmodified system for a pristine outcome.
It might be because the steam current version is exactly 1:1.0.0.71-1pop1, not a regular Ubuntu release. These specific versions are important since PopOS relies only on Ubuntu mirrors and flatpacks for its packages, suggesting potential critical issues if something went wrong.
Sorry, Dark Mode users... The latest Pop update was released on September 14, about two months ago. It seems this is the only version available in the Hirsute (21.04) repository, which makes me really curious about recreating it. I’m determined to recreate it. Here’s the most recent diff snippet.

Rolling updates on an arch-based distribution have worked well for me. For fixes, Timeshift on btrfs is effective. If you prefer not to use arch, Fedora is a solid alternative. I’d still stick with the same file system. Dual-booting with Windows isn’t advisable—Windows struggles with multiple OSes. Running Windows apps in a VM or using Wine works better than in a virtual environment (like SOLIDWORKS).
