Wayland solves problems that I don't have, while introducing new ones (my Nvidia GPU isn't well supported, remote X doesn't exist and none of the wm's I love support it, like openbox).
So I'll stay on Xorg for as long as I can.

- jatone 5y agolack of support for nvidia is entire nvidia's own fault. basically they decided to go there own way on buffer management for userspace and the development community rejected them at large. it'll be fixed in about 1 year, nvidia finally got on board and built the APIs they needed to build. iirc KDE forced one of the nvidia devs to implement and then fix all the problems with nvidia on KDE wayland. basically the dev went back to nvidia and was like 'just implement the GDM apis'
