same or slightly newer
Honestly I have done all I can from my end, Yes Ubuntu works but its not an option, it runs terrible on my system.. Mate would be my next "go to" but that also fails something must change between desktops which is beyond my understanding

I think we may need to try find any relation between the desktop environment in use in these distros...

Ubuntu is available in various desktop environments like:
  • Ubuntu prior to 18.04 LTS =>Unity8 desktop environment by default
  • Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and newer => GNOME desktop environment by default
  • Ubuntu MATE (MATE - is the continuation of GNOME 2 by a new community that was dissatisfied with GNOME 3)
  • Xubuntu (XFCE - is based on GTK+ version 2),
  • Kubuntu (KDE Plasma)
  • Lubuntu (LXDE)
  • Ubuntu Budgie (Budgie - uses GNOME technologies such as GTK+)

Debian 10 "buster" ships with several desktop applications and environments. Amongst others it now includes the desktop environments:
  • Cinnamon 3.8
  • GNOME 3.30 (default)
  • KDE Plasma 5.14
  • LXDE 0.99.2
  • LXQt 0.14
  • MATE 1.20
  • Xfce 4.12
In this release, GNOME defaults to using the Wayland display server instead of Xorg. Wayland has a simpler and more modern design, which has advantages for security. However, the Xorg display server is still installed by default and the default display manager allows users to choose Xorg as the display server for their next session. (reference)

nigec, maybe you can switch from Wayland to Xorg and see what happens.

I think you guys need to look, I tried Gnome3, xfce and Mate but I can't build my own version of Wings on any of them
I'm back at my day job so it would probably be the weekend before I can look again

All of them installed in a virtual machine (VirtualBox), right? These machine may not be consistent with a real one which are preferred for a real solution (that may not be ours). It also requires everybody to install the VM VirtualBox Extension Pack.

dgud was always clear about to build only the Ubuntu distro since it's the one he has available and supposedly any distro based on it should to accept Wings3D well and for any other distro is up to others to build Wings3D.

It's so many different distros that is hard to build (and keep) an development environment for that (my thoughts).
I believe to find a workaround or fix for this issue must to be a collective effort.
