I'm not super informed on Wayland, and this analogy really helped, thanks!

I am a Mint fan, so one of the minority still running X11. As long as I can do what I need to on my PC, though, I am content to wait until the distro maintainers do the upgrade.

I guess using Mint in the first place means I don't prioritize running all the cutting edge versions of everything, lol.

    Mint is awesome. There is absolutely nothing wrong with using Mint on Xorg today. I converted somebody to Linux recently and I put them on Mint (X11). There are not that many Wayland only apps yet. And if you don’t use them yet, you won’t miss them.

    Please just don’t post “Wayland is not ready” articles because Cinnamon is not ready (does not fully support Wayland yet).

    Cinnamon will go Wayland though. When they are ready, they will switch you over. At some point, they will drop support for Xorg.
