      Wayland does not work properly on NVidia hardware

      That’s a feature, stop buying hardware from vendors that treat GNU/Linux and *BSD users as second-class citizens and locks them into proprietary drivers.

      Wayland is biased toward Linux and breaks BSD

      Seems to work just fine on FreeBSD.

      Wayland breaks games

      Games are developed for X11. And if you run a game on Wayland, performance is subpar due to things like forced vsync. Only recently, some Wayland implementations (like KDE KWin) let you disable that.

      Gaming performance is actually better on Wayland.

        I suppose it explains why people have a bad attitude about Wayland when tools providing useful functionality are described as trojans.

        X11 can (…mostly…) have great security by just providing a suitable X Security module to it. It just seems it wasn’t considered that big of an issue that anyone bothered. Nokia Maemo/Meego used to rock such a module.
