I have a 3D printing software that does not display well on Wayland. Instead of relogging to start a x11 session is there a way to force that one software to display in x11 instead of Wayland?

Edit

AddingQT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb to the enviroment variables was the solution for me.

Thanks to everyone for the help.
