    I am pretty new to Linux and have mostly been using Ubuntu. The few times I have read about Wayland, it was mostly Ubuntu users blamimg it for things not working. Can you tell me why you are looking forward to using it?

      The most basic and obvious thing is that external monitors with different DPIs than the laptop screen will finally work correctly.

      It supports things like multiple screens with different DPIs and refresh rates which X11 supports badly, if they work at all.

      Wayland still has some use cases that the devs are chasing down and Nvidia were dragged into things kicking and screaming, but it’s mostly complete now.

      Personally, I’d like to use Gamescope for my games. In addition to super low latency it has a number of nice features like being able to force games into borderless fullscreen and therefore be easily minimized, being able to use FSR to upscale any game, setting a framerate limiter, etc

      It’s modern and faster, has more features, and supports X11 apps. If your hardware is friendly with it, it’s pretty much a straight upgrade. Problem is not all hardware supports is well.
