I really think we're getting there. Wayland is a much saner, more consistent experience than X11 ever was. I use Fedora and with Gnome and Mutter you get a solid experience. Not everyone likes Gnome but I find it to be generally pretty good and productive to work in. There are some gaps in Wayland - screen sharing being the obvious one. But these gaps are in the process of being closed (pipewire being part of the picture). Give it another year and I believe that Wayland will be a solid solution for all the major use cases (multi-monitor, high-dpi, screen sharing). My other issue with Linux as a workstation solution is OOM handling, and even that is being worked on!

Nvidia really needs to get on Wayland already. I tried a few months ago to run KDE on Wayland+Nvidia it was literally unusable. I could not put a panel down without bugs. I'm running mixed DPI with the Nvidia driver and it's just easiest to make seperate X screens despite all the downsides that brings :/. I'm going to be sad that a lot of little WMs are probably never going to make the jump. I'm not sure Wayland is ever going to get that many.

  nVidia works fine on Wayland on Gnome because Gnome implemented nVidia's EGLstreams as well as GBM
