One solution that is commonly suggested is to disable Wayland and switch back to Xorg. However, this creates many unexpected and frustrating issues, such as malfunctioning audio drivers, monitor-related problems, and multiple GNOME extensions failing to work — all of which I encountered bit by bit.

Thankfully, there is a much better solution provided by Marcello Pozzessere in askubuntu.com.

The steps are as follows:

1. Install `xdg-desktop-portal-gnome`: This provides the GNOME implementation of xdg-desktop-portal, allowing sandboxed apps to interact with the GNOME desktop environment.
2. Install `gnome-remote-desktop`: This adds remote desktop functionality for GNOME, enabling you to share or access your desktop over a network.

You can install both packages with the following command:

sudo apt install xdg-desktop-portal-gnome gnome-remote-desktop

This solution worked like a charm for me, without disrupting Wayland or any GNOME extensions.

During the interview, I realized the interviewer was actually an AI bot and the same name who sent me the mail. Thoroughly reviewing my resume, it grilled me with follow-up questions about one of my backend projects , My previous Job , Internships and even skills mentioned.

The questions ranged from implementation details to why I chose a specific tech stack, focusing on databases, networking, optimization techniques, Spring Security, and SQL usage. Then, it moved on to concepts from my internships, asking smart follow-up questions. When the 20 minutes were up, the bot thanked me for the interview and signed off.

The entire process was so well-planned that it covered almost everything on my resume. I am amazed at how much could be asked and understood in a span of 20 minutes about a candidate. I was genuinely impressed by the technical depth of the experience. It was my first encounter with this kind of interview, and I found it fascinating. If this becomes more common, it could revolutionize technical interviewing.
