Fedors is not "Wayland first" any more than anything else. _Desktops_ may be, distros are not.
Also, personal opinion of someone who's been using desktop Linux for several years longer than you: Wayland ain't all that. Don't believe the hype. Mostly it is still a pain.
IMHO the best desktops still do not support Wayland.
Obvs what that is is subjective but I've tried them all, to an approximation, and for me the best is Xfce.

@sethadam1@shakedown.social @thomholwerda@exquisite.social @latenightlinux@mastodon.social Failing that, Unity. Failing that, probably Cinnamon. That means Xubuntu.

@lproven@social.vivaldi.net When I was using desktop Linux most heavily, I LOVED Xfce. But it doesn't support Wayland at all yet (mostly).

@lproven@social.vivaldi.net "Fedors is not "Wayland first" any more than anything else. _Desktops_ may be, distros are not." I should have specified "Fedora Workstation." I hope it was clear that brevity forced some liberty here. But I appreciate your response!
