> Wayland solves no issues I have but breaks almost everything I need.

This is so true. Change for the sake of change.

It also fixes display handling, which is nice. VRR working out-of-the-box should be the standard, same goes for HDR and other advanced features. I wish x11 had them, but It's Dead, Jim.

Most games are not developed for Linux at all. When you compare performance between Wayland and x11 on like hardware, the performance difference is nigh-nonexistent (even with XWayland). https://www.phoronix.com/review/ubuntu-2304-wayland-xorg-gam...

This link keeps getting brought up from time to time, so it's worth noting that it's been outdated for around two years at this point, if not more.
