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.

I run Wayland on my desktop, but there's nothing (in my flow) that I miss on my work or travel laptop (which are both X11)
I guess external monitors are a little clunky on my work laptop, but monitor profiles on XFCE solve the problem (and that's assuming I wouldn't have issues on Wayland, too).
I'm not a Wayland hater, I just don't have much benefit from it and am waiting for XFCE and the accessibility APIs to get better before I switch.
