Wayland on Gnome? I tried Gnome 40, Wayland works flawlessly, but I couldn't get used to it; too much clicking, even for some trivial tasks such as navigating the app grid. Though, if you use a laptop, touchpad support is really nice. It looks to me Gnome depvs use touchscreens, and that's why their DE behaves the way it does; not very keyboard friendly.

I have no problems navigating Gnome got used to it in Debian Wheezy and also used Unity and ain't much difference imo.
I guess it's what you are used to using.
I can adapt to any DE or WM once I get used to it.

I currently got all my games running in my Wayland/Sway session using gamescope, so I don't have a need for X11 anymore but will keep it around for the time being.

I found another application that doesn't support Wayland yet, Microsoft Teams doesn't support screensharing on Wayland yet.

I did try KDE Plasma with Sway but that didn't work. I switched back to X11 because it got annoying having to switch on and off between X11 and Wayland because screen-sharing with Microsoft Teams doesn't work on Wayland.
It "sort of" works. You can share your main desktop window, but not each application
window individially.
I’ll take a look at that at some point.@JasKinasis

I’m still not convinced about Wayland yet though. I still don’t think it’s completely ready to replace X11!
Last time I tried it didn't work because I wasn't even able to select a monitor.
I decided to use Wayland again for a day and screen-sharing now works with Teams-for-Linux on Gnome. If I don't come across any other bugs while using Wayland for work and for personal things, I will probably be stick to it.
Still not 100%. But I noticed Mickey$oft discontinued the Teams client for Linux.
They want you to use the browser version now.
I don't use the official Teams client since that was discontinue but the unofficial one but I made a mistake in the link I shared, it's this one.

I'm using Wayland with Debian testing and Gnome and it works fine, no issues.
