I, unfortunately, said goodbye to the Fedora distribution... I still need X11 and that will not change for a long time. Gnome is getting more and more frustrating from version to version. I went back to simplicity, FreeBSD 14.2 + X11 + Enlightenment 0.27 ;-)

Your choice is solid and will last for years. Having said that it's seems to me Wayland will be slowly dethroning X11 whether we like it or not.

I personally have no issue with Wayland because most apps I am using are performing correctly with native Wayland or via XWayland. Simply put I am getting boring as I am getting older. Now all I want is a conventional, productive and boring UX like that of GNOME or KDE.

Wayland is fine if you have a GPU. If you don't, it runs everything through llvmpipe. On my 4-core Blackbird with AST graphics it worked fine but the fans never quit running (but when I switched to X11 they throttled back down again).

Honestly, for daily use, I don't really have a problem with Wayland. I used to have a lot more of them but it seems like there's been a lot of work done to make it a lot more seamless, but I'm also just a desktop user and any server stuff I do probably won't have a GUI running. I just wish there was something as good as TDE for it, Plasma is fine, just not as full featured and robust ime.
