# WlxOverlay-X

{{< hint danger >}}
**Warning**
WlxOverlay-X is still to be considered alpha-quality and highly experimental.
{{< /hint >}}
WlxOverlay-X is the OpenXR edition of WlxOverlay, the tool that lets users interact with their X11 or Wayland desktop from inside VR.
It supports a vast variety of desktop environments, and comes with a fully customizable keyboard.
WlxOverlay-X works on any runtime that implements EXTX_OVERLAY. Currently this is limited to Monado-based runtimes.
WiVRn users: while WiVRn supports EXTX_OVERLAY, it does no frame composition on the server side, so overlay apps can have ghosting issues.
If you are looking for an overlay for SteamVR, see [WlxOverlay](/docs/steamvr/wlxoverlay/).

WlxOverlay is a tool that lets users interact with their X11 or Wayland desktop from inside VR.
It supports a vast variety of desktop environments, and comes with a fully customizable keyboard.
If you are looking for an overlay for Monado / WiVRn, see [WlxOverlay-X](/docs/fossvr/wlxoverlay-x/).
There are currently two editions of WlxOverlay.
## WlxOverlay-S
- [WlxOverlay-S GitHub repository](https://github.com/galister/wlx-overlay-s)
WlxOverlay-S is the newer iteration of the software with major performance improvements. We recommend trying this first.
The S edition supports both Monado and SteamVR, and avoids many of the pitfalls of the previous iterations by using Vulkan instead of EGL.
## WlxOverlay Classic

- [Troubleshooting Wiki](https://github.com/galister/WlxOverlay/wiki/Troubleshooting)
WlxOverlay Classic is recommended if WlxOverlay-S is not working for you.
It works well once you get it working, but the lengthy troubleshooting page speaks for itself.
It is prone to run into issues with NVidia's EGL driver, as well as GLFW specifically.
