I just switched from fedora 39 plasma to green debian, it's been very pleasant to have "it just works os" take care of things, including X11 just doing it's regular old thing.

But if course, Wayland is the future and I will happily use it by the time it becomes stable enough for a debian release. Go Wayland!

Debian has had Wayland for ages tho. It's the default for Gnome since 2019.

You're right, I didn't think of that. Cinnamon sadly is X11 for now.

The whole point of using Linux is the freedom that we can use what we want. Don't play down other DEs you might not like, because the variety is what makes our environment amazing.

You can use what you want. I just say X11 is not developed anymore really, since years. It is decades old and insecure by design. Wayland just works, if not supported XWayland is chosen automatically.

If you use MacOS or Windows today, you will see that Linux has no permission system at all. This is simply insecure.
