From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yeah and xwayland is working just fine for me right now. It'll be nice when it's no longer needed, but in the meantime, it has caused no noticable performance issues for me.

but many games and programs don't work even on it, you just need to switch to X11 manually, this is annoying me.

This has never once happened to me. I have never had to switch my session to x11 for any reason whatsoever, especially not for compatibility issues.

Dunno what distro or hardware you're running, but I suspect Wayland is not the issue.
