X11 vs Wayland
(lemmy.ml)
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.

I would just wait if you're on a nvidia card, all of the problems with nvidia on wayland are nvidias fault, and they're supposedly releasing patches to fix this, but it's taking forever and nvidia sucks.
If possible, sell it and get an amdgpu

It's honestly a good idea to just sell.
Wayland is fundamentally better designed from the ground up, but isn't extremely mature. Waiting is perfectly fine if you're comfy on x11, but once wayland is the default everywhere, the linux desktop will be a significantly better experience in more ways than just security.
