My fear is what it'll do to gaming. Fedora gamers have complained loudly about the issues of Wayland (particularly with proton and Wine). Ubuntu's ONLY claim to fame is their support by Steam.

And thats not even getting into the Ubuntu offshoots like PopOS, Elementary, and Mint, which use heavily modified DEs that still rely on Xorg
