I’ve tried wayland. It’s a default for my daily driver Ubuntu 22.04. But it really struggles with multi monitors, especially ones attached to my egpu or other docks.

Ultimately X11 works out of the box and with a quick .conf change I can easily setup my default monitors at the gdm login (or whatever Ubuntu uses these days).

I don’t have a dog in the fight on a display interpreter. But wayland just doesn’t work in my use case. And hasnt through multiple iterations (this laptop was built on 20.04 and went through a few non-lts releases before I just stuck to 22.04. )
