Not sure what the hullabaloo is about, I'm on Ubuntu using Wayland and it's fine. What use cases would people have for x11, and could it be solved by using another desktop environment like Mate or XFCE?

    The only issue I have seen with Wayland is that Eclipse IDE crashes every few hours. And for those that say there are alternatives, sure, but why do I have to setup a new IDE and learn how to use it? Wayland does not add anything for me, so it is easier to just install X11 myself or stop using that distro.

    I think most of us would consider that an eclipse bug, but yeah, until it's fixed it'd make sense to work around it.

    Kinda similarly, I have a mostly identical setup on several machines, and on one of them Firefox has a memory leak, which even showed up just recently. It also seems to manifest if I have certain pages open, the most noticeable of which is Reddit.

    It's the kind of stuff I could dig into, buuut it's just a PITA.
