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.
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”.

Jumping the gun? It’s been working mostly without issue for most people for years now.
If you ignore all the things where it doesn’t.
Could say the same about X. To me X seems pretty broken and unstable.
just this month I had multiple wayland issues forcing me to switch to an x11 session
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 Wayland
Ok
Personally X11 is unusably buggy and janky. Just a clearly inferior experience.

If nobody does that, nobody will be using Wayland to report issues.
Wayland works pretty well, especially on GNOME. It’s good they did the jump, X11 poses unacceptable security risks for the current time.
