this is in the main branch

Operating system

linux

Bug description

I made a PR to fix libprocessing.so not having the wayland and x11 related methods on linux in #1540

However even still the window does not pop up. I need to examine what wiring is missing in java to fix it. I think we're just not calling the wayland or x11 related window creation calls.
