"Now"? I used it two years ago or so, without any issues.
Arguably wayland still had a lot more issues 2 years ago. Now its the default on a few big distros.
Switched to wayland (sway) 2.5+ years ago, laptop and main NVidia rig. The former is still perfect, the latter had many issues until I switched to AMD half a year ago or so.
I am switching to a used RX 6950 XT i got for cheap tomorrow, so i am looking forward to that compatibility :)
We're talking about Waydroid, a method of running Android apps on Linux, not the display manager Wayland
Which requires using Wayland to function on normal linux desktops (hence the name i believe). Its not mentioned on wikipedia for some reason, but its the first thing when you go to their website. I wanted to try it a few years ago, but back then wayland just wasnt doing it for me. Might try it again soon tho.
