i dont get screen tearing in games, videos or browsers on wayland and also seem to be getting less issues with compositing, which was a problem on x11 with i915 drivers for me
uhm… you get screen tearing on x11? Don’t you just turn on full composition pipeline or freesync in your graphics driver settings or by directly editing xorg.conf?

Please lecture me, I’m somewhat new to linux (I use it for some years now, but only Ubuntu, so you know). What’s the point of wayland?
I mean, I get that it’s an alternative to Xorg, and it merges the server and client, but what does this mean to the end user?
the main thing i’ve heard about it is that it’s more actively developed than Xorg

You don’t have to do any of this in Wayland.
there is no reason to use something else as an enduser. Maybe as a backup or testing setup you could install something else, but apart from that…
