I installed 21.10 yesterday. Not only did Wayland not break everything
for me, it's not even offered as an option for me!

A google search implies I may be able to tweak some config files to
get it working. On the other hand, as far as I can tell, my Nvidia
card seems to be working just fine under x11. Is Wayland going to
offer me anything to counter the risk of things possible not working?

Yep, they're horizontal now. Also, some of my windows how light gray
titlebars instead of black titlebars. I think that's a plus, since
dark titlebars on top of dark backgrounds tend to all run together to
my eyes.

The only other thing of note so far is that mutt is still at version
2.0.5 from January. There are some new features in 2.1 I was hoping to
try out, but I guess it'll have to wait April and 22.04.
