Gnome forced me onto Wayland a few weeks ago and I’ve been dealing with issues ever since. Some issues even affecting the most basic level tasks like typing text, imagine dealing with that in 2025. Following your analogy, if the Uber with the fancy new transmission came to a halt every kilometre, you’d care too.
I would imagine a clean install, over just an update from x11 to wayland, might work better, since applications might still expect x11, and fail to render or work properly.
I used gnome with wayland and an Nvidia gpu maybe a couple years back, and it worked pretty well. I’d give it another go. mutter, gnome’s wayland compositor is actually pretty good compared to most others.
I was an early adopter years back, so I reported bugs while I could still switch back when I needed to (which ended up being once to screen share with Zoom)
If you had done this, you wouldn’t be forced into a buggy environment now.

Same here. All amd. 13 year old cpu. Wayland has a ton of issues and 0 noticeable improvements for me.
