You are wondering whether this is of any benefit to the general end user, Ed?
I cannot answer what is the benefit of Wayland over Xorg to the (general) end user, but,
for myself, I think there is a benefit. Xorg is very old and is a tangled mess of things,
like font rendering and display management and pointer control and login stuff and much
more I forgot. Wayland appears to be simple.
I like using features that are already in the kernel, instead of having to run an extra
layer over it all. This is my rudimentary and incomplete understanding of Xorg vs.
Wayland.
