Same here under trusted 22.04 LTS on that older / not quite healthy laptop.
All it took was to set WaylandEnable=true in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf and a
systemctl call to restart gdm3.

R plots fine in the x11() default device via plot(cumsum(rnorm(100)), type="l").

Like Roger, I had issues with some third-party apps (obs to record lectures
comes to mind, maybe also zoom ?) so "we'll see".
