TLDR: XFCE and Cinnamon devs are begging beginning to work on Wayland support.

    At least the Mint devs are being realistic on the time span needed for Wayland to have a chance at working for everyone, unlike Fedora, KDE, and Gnome that are jumping the gun.

      Jumping the gun? It’s been working mostly without issue for most people for years now.

          Since we’re going with anecdotal evidence, I’ve been using Wayland daily for over a year and haven’t had any issues related to it

          Ok

          Personally X11 is unusably buggy and janky. Just a clearly inferior experience.

            While maybe sometimes buggy, at least things run. I’m all for modernization, but if there are compatibility problems with recent software, I’m not OK with it being declared “the better, mature standard thing everybody should now use”.

          Could say the same about X. To me X seems pretty broken and unstable.

      Wayland works pretty well, especially on GNOME. It’s good they did the jump, X11 poses unacceptable security risks for the current time.

      Cinnamon and XFCE are outliers in that they try to be super stable, “complete” desktops, compared to GNOME and KDE that try to be bleeding edge and packed with new and changing features.

      Benefits to both, but I can respect why Cinnamon and XFCE have been slow to adopt Wayland (to a fault, many would argue)
