About a year ago I installed #Debian #Linux on a 10 year old #iMac. Now I am running Debian Trixie at the current version.
Although that worked, UI always felt a little sluggish, and after the latest update I sometimes had crashes of the window manager for example when playing FreeTube video.
Now, after reading a post on Mastodon where someone else had problems with a lagging UI, I did what was recommended: Switch to #X instead using #Wayland.
UI is fast now, second monitor works as it should when locking the screen.
I would have thought, that Wayland should be better and more performant as the newer solution aiming to replace X server, but

Yes, and different DEs have varying degrees of maturity. e.g., I cannot use screenshot tools other than those provided by KDE.
