    I don't know too much about either so this may sound really dumb BUT

    xorg is basically dead, even it's developers agree that it's time to move on. it's necessary to move to something that can updated and be maintained and be secure. It's approach to display managing is really different so it really is a significant change, but it also makes it much lighter. It's been in development for about a decade now and it's finally almost there. With full gnome support, to the point where wayland is the default on some major distros (I want to say fedora is one, and ubuntu is going wayland this year) NVIDIA has also made some changes recently to support it more (though I still think it's rough from what I've heard) and now kde ready for wayland, I really think this year will be the tipping point. At least I hope.

      I believe manjaro uses wayland as default (though it's been a minute since I last had a linux pc, so don't take this as gospel).
