Yes, I made it using a laptop's trackpad, how could you tell?

The young man says: "It's high time you retire, old man!" Panel 2: An old man with a long beard and the Xorg logo on his chest is sitting on a throne and petting a rat, the XFCE mascot. He says: "It's still a hundred years too early for you to defeat me!" ]

Very true. Like I would love it if something worked as solidly as X but Wayland has had like 15 years to get it's shit together and it's still not there. There are plenty of people for who it does work too but 2 out of the 3 computers I use regularly have issues with Wayland.

I have 4 computers, all run Wayland, none have issue. If you have some nVidia or otherwise exotic Hw you may have issues, but Wayland is already very mature for regular use.

On my old laptop with a dedicated Nvidia card and integrated AMD Wayland works as long as you only use integrated graphics otherwise crashes are common.

On my new laptop with both integrated and dedicated AMD graphics it works without issue.

On my desktop with a 5800x3d and 7900XT it's usable but on Wayland hardware acceleration of video just does not work for some reason. About half of more demanding games have a very noticeable stutter and there is a full system freeze every week or so. With X those issues aren't present on that machine.

As I said: Works for some people but not for others.
