TLDR: XFCE and Cinnamon devs are begging beginning to work on Wayland support.

    At least the Mint devs are being realistic on the time span needed for Wayland to have a chance at working for everyone, unlike Fedora, KDE, and Gnome that are jumping the gun.

          Since we’re going with anecdotal evidence, I’ve been using Wayland daily for over a year and haven’t had any issues related to it

            While maybe sometimes buggy, at least things run. I’m all for modernization, but if there are compatibility problems with recent software, I’m not OK with it being declared “the better, mature standard thing everybody should now use”.

      If nobody does that, nobody will be using Wayland to report issues.

      Cinnamon and XFCE are outliers in that they try to be super stable, “complete” desktops, compared to GNOME and KDE that try to be bleeding edge and packed with new and changing features.

      Benefits to both, but I can respect why Cinnamon and XFCE have been slow to adopt Wayland (to a fault, many would argue)
