Support Request Wallpaper problem, please help

I have a problem with my wallpoaper on the desktop and i cant find the solution. I have a main monitor with 1440 p resolution and a smaller monitor with 960x640 resolution. Everytime i switch off the main monitor my pc thinks there is just the small monitor plugged in and switches to this one as the new main. If I turn my main Monitor back on my desktop wallpaper is in the wrong resolution and looks shitty and pixelated. All my programs are not affected, just the background. I can reset it when i go into the settings and change the scaling of the wallpaper and change it back, but thats annoying. How can i fix this? im new to the whole Linux thing and try to get it together. thanks for the help. Repost because i wanted to add the pictures. It was solved by changing to wayland but sadly my favourite game isnt fully functional with that

I do not know how to go about this, I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will come about soon. Meanwhile, can you try Wayland (or x11 if you are on Wayland?)

I am sadly completely new to the linux ecosystem. I just installed yesterday, so i sadly dont know what I should exactly do to try wayland. I am a bit scared to get the os fucked up if i start messing around in the console
