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.

The average user has Intel/AMD iGPUs and uses whatever is default which in fact is Wayland in case of Gnome and Steam Deck Game Mode.
Nope, steam deck is X11, just checked mine.
Yea, most people use the default, like I use Wayland on my desktop which is almost exclusively used for games so 99.9% of applications launch through xwayland. I'm saying Wayland doesn't have advantages over X11 for the average user and for anyone with an Nvidia GPU it is an active hindrance.
Then you checked wrong and don't understand the difference between Game Mode and Desktop Mode.
You bought an expensive product with incomplete drivers. The hindrance is NVidia.
