Wayland on an Intel iGPU runs flawlessly and has for several years. However, that's a matter of drivers. AMD is in the forefront regarding having dGPU support, while NVIDIA is playing catch-up.
In any case, the future is bright.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Wayland developer says X11 is bad, not Wayland
Nobody, other than you and them, cares. Have a good day.

Eh, I always discredit people when they say X is bad.
It's been around for over 20 years. That kind of longevity should be praised.
Really glad probonopd is doing this, X11 is dying but wayland isnt ready to replace it, so it's nice to have this
EDIT, paste didn't work https://github.com/probonopd/wayland-x11-compat-protocols

Nate Graham acknowledges current gaps in Wayland support but on the matter of "Wayland breaks everything" isn't really the right perspective
That's rather disingenuous. It's meant to be a replacement for X11. So it does break things.
