Yes, Wayland. But also Steam Games, as my Nvidia 960 was not able to play the
Steam game "Planet Crafter" at any usable performance (XFCE, X11). Once I
replace my Nvidia card with a Radeon RX 6600, the game play was smooth and
stable.

Thanks for your reply.
I look forward to "Nvidia loves Linux and Wayland" and a stable, production 560
version coming to Debian (there are currently a number of complaints about
instability with the beta version, but that is to be expected with a beta
version). Maybe, just maybe the Nvidia cards I replaced with Radeon cards can
still be put back into use.
