So funny to read "Wayland breaks everything", yet I run it everyday (on Ubuntu), it solved my screen tearing and other than that I only switch to X for my sons Minecraft.
For me it didn't "break everything" in fact, it fixed something for me. Moreover, it seems to be more secure (which is of course something you only notice by things not happening). So such a title does not really make me want to read what is probably an emotional rant.
Edit: I see the title just changed, anyway, I think most people realize it's not 1:1 with X, which is why Canonical makes X defaults and allows me to choose easily. At some point though it will be nice, I for one like the promises of PipeWire. Why is there so much emotion involved with such projects anyway?
"screen tearing" is this thing which is always rolled out to defend Wayland, and I use X all the time and have never worried about this as a problem (even assuming I understand what the problem is). Maybe my eyes are too slow to see this or something. To throw away everything to get this imaginary benefit seems pretty strange to me.
I think it is a matter of proper GPU driver support + correct configuration and people mistakenly attribute all bad to Xorg. My polaris AMD cards have perfect tear-free video, but with intel I had problems/difficulties to configure tear-free behaviour.
