I was wondering how many wayland users are here, and what is your gpu? Why not the other?
I for one use xorg, because of my ye olden nvidia gpu that does not mesh too well with wayland.

I use Wayland on an AMD RX 6700 XT. I use Wayland because if you have multiple monitors with different refresh rates, xorg only allows the desktop compositing to run at the framerate of the lowest monitor. I had a 60, 75, and 144hz monitor but compositing ran at 60 fps (games ran fine because compositing is disabled and can run full framerate while playing). Wayland can run desktop compositing at full framerate for each monitor so it doesn’t have that issue.
Afterwards, now that I no longer have the 60hz or 75hz monitors (144 is now my lowest hz monitor) it wouldn’t affect much to use either one, but I still use Wayland because it runs well on my hardware.
There might be a workaround or some other way to fix that, and I might’ve worded some of that a bit wrong, but Wayland was the fix for me in that situation.
This post helped me mess around with Wayland on an Nvidia card and the only thing is that occasionally animations will get frozen and wonky, but I can just log out and back in and things are back in working order. Also transparent themes in Plasma don’t work super well, but that’s a tiny price to pay to unlock full frames out of my multi-monitor setup.
