What is your experience with Wayland on Void? (piefed.social)

I'm (slowly) starting to migrate all my systems from Debian to Void. I'm not passionate about Wayland per se, but I understand it is where future development will be going so I'd like to move in that direction. But I'm having hit-or-miss luck getting going.

In practice, I'm still on X11 in most cases because that works out of the box, whereas Wayland XFCE sessions just die and fall back to lightdm.

Fellow Void-users, are you running Wayland? If so, is it working well for you?

Hi, yeah, I moved from arch Linux to void a while back and not had any real significant issues with Wayland. Although I was on Wayland on arch to. I moved to Wayland 2 years ago in arch, then moved to void 6 months ago. I've always been minimal in terms of desktops though. Haven't run a full de on my main pc in over 10 years. I was openbox on x11, then when I moved to Wayland, tried hyprland for a few weeks before settling on sway. I have had to adapt as x11 is not Wayland. But I haven't had any breaking issues. I don't use a DM either.
