It doesn't matter, your options are either X11 or a Wayland-based compositor, both of them come with their respective headaches that a regular user has NO IDEA how to fix.

This is only accurate for people who choose enthusiast-centric DIY distributions such as Arch.

“Regular” users have plenty of distribution choices where there are zero of these types of headaches.

Buy hardware that supports Linux and you won't have to think about it.

At this point hardware incompatibility is a self-imposed problem.

You're making this issue much bigger than it is in reality.

Dare I say that you frankly have NO IDEA what the experience on modern Linux is today.
