Old, and most probably already seen.

To me Wayland, for those not using gnome/kde and are not into tiling compositors, things are not quite stable yet. I hope Xorg is here to stay for long.

    I’ve been using Wayland for about a year now and with basically no issues. Some exceptions with some older software I had to run to configure something nonstandard, but that is a very rare exception. When the support for Wayland on Wine is merged, I will have no reason to even use XWayland anymore.

    I mean yeah sure, even just KDE/Gnome is most of the desktop Linux users and if you include tiling window managers I would guess you are at about 90% of users. Sure, even in the world of tiling window managers your options are more limited than with X, but even just this past year the situation improved dramatically.

    Personally, I would say for most of the users, the Wayland is ready and is just getting better with more features (things like HDR support).
