Most of the issues I've run into are related to multiple monitors, on both Xorg and Wayland. Xorg can't do mismatched refresh rates, or VRR at all with multiple monitors, or HDR at all. The last time I tried Wayland (with KDE) it ended up in a bizarre state where my mouse clicks were going to a different point on the screen than where the cursor was, which was fixed if I disabled one monitor but I couldn't figure out how to get both working at once. As a 4K monitor user I also need 150% DPI scaling to work properly and from what I gather fractional scaling is still very rough on Linux.
Hopefully one day, I'm not happy about the direction Windows is going either. But all of the above Just Works on Windows.
