I enabled Wayland manually in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf and I’ve seen no issues. Screen tearing went away which is a plus. So is there a logical reason why Wayland isn’t enabled by default?
Not asking for ranting purposes, I’m just curious. I thought Pop_OS! is currently incompatible with Wayland.

Some graphics cards from AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA have severe issues with Wayland in this version of GNOME. Some applications have graphics corruption, have broken functionality, or otherwise crash in some circumstances in the GNOME Wayland session. So until COSMIC is released, X11 is the default for GNOME. There are still some areas of the Wayland protocol that are being actively discussed to resolve, and therefore it’s better to make this optional rather than default.
There isn’t any other IT company in the whole world which can compete with System 76 in quality of service. Truly stunning.
Screen capture doesn’t work in some apps still I’m pretty sure is the main reason. Discord is one app it doesn’t work in if I remember correctly.
