On the output side: Mixed-DPI displays. HDR/wide color gamuts/LUTs/color management. Non-rectangle workspaces, or workspaces with no absolute coordinate systems (think headsets).

On the input side: touch gestures recognized as touch gestures, not as mouse emulation.

On both: hotplug of all input/output devices. Headless sessions and handover of sessions between console and headless, both directions. Reliable lock screen, even if popup menu is showing ;).

Pop quiz, how many of those work on wayland?

Except the HDR/wide color/LUTs/color management, everything.

And the last missing thing is WIP.

I have multi DPI displays (laptop + 2 monitors) work fine on Wayland (fractional scaling).

Impossible. I'm told if you're not running xscreensaver it is safe to assume that your screen does not lock!
