Wayland is the architecture we want to use going into the future.
Wayland is also still relatively new compared to X11 (which is almost 30
years older). So there's a lot of catching up to do in the various
software ecosystems.

Title:
GNOME desktop isn't a desktop.
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
In the major DE, windows & mac, the desktop is a desktop. It has files
on it. If you click on the desktop, focus goes to it, and ctrl+n will
open a new file browsing window (Mac Finder or Windows Explorer) and
ctrl+shift+n will create a new folder. If you right-click on the
desktop, you should be able to create a new folder, properties,
restore missing files, open in Terminal, etc. It's supposed to be part
of the desktop environment. However, in GNOME, the desktop doesn't
feel like a desktop. It's theoretically the directory
/home/USERNAME/Desktop, but in GNOME I can't start manipulating Files
(Nautilus) by focusing on the desktop with a click nor an alt-tab.
