    Assuming:

    • everything works (just check out this thread)
    • there is Wayland alternative for every xorg tool you need, and they haven’t been abandoned after a month
    • your setup isn’t impossible due to DEs becoming a monolithic mess

        Not tools like screenshots, screen recording - because Wayland is inherently different, you couldn’t make those work in Xwayland without sacrifices.

        I think Wayland is in a good enough state to be a daily driver for most (non-NVidia) users, but there’s still big caveats to keep in mind that can be deal breakers.

        I was talking about xorg specific tooling. For example sxhkd doesn’t work in wayland. Swhkd is the wayland alternative that should work in both, but the last release was 2 years ago, is only available through AUR, and when I compiled it, it didn’t work with either Wayland or xorg.
