I had it running for a while recently with KDE Plasma, because I wanted to try out waydroid, which only supports Wayland. My impression was, that it has improved a lot and is in a somewhat usable state, but I quickly changed back to X. I felt that programs designed for X and programs designed for Wayland don't interact well (copy/paste and so on) and Plasma support for Wayland is not as mature as for X. The worst experience was the proprietary Citrix client, which I need to use on a daily basis for my work. They say they don't support Wayland at all. Well it did somehow work but it was absolutely not satisfying (again copy/paste, alt+tab behaviour and so on). I came to the conclusion that I don't really need or want Wayland at this point of time. It might be technically better, but X does all I need these days. And I like the X forwarding feature of SSH. My biggest concern is that we will see over the next years a big division of the GUI application eco system. Some programs will stay optimised for X, some will even require Wayland, like the mentioned waydroid. Hopefully a full transparency can somehow be achieved.
