Wayland is a replacement for the X11 window system protocol and architecture with the aim to be easier to develop, extend, and maintain.
Wayland is the language (protocol) that applications can use to talk to a display server in order to make themselves visible and get input from the user (a person). A Wayland server is called a “compositor”. Applications are Wayland clients.
I use swww for wayland. I’ve seen quite a few others with similar setups as well, though I don’t know how you do it on the Xorg side of things.
what even is wayland
Are you new to Linux? I’m not trying to be mean, but I just want to know so it’ll help me better approach the situation.

oh so wayland is like a ‘motherboard’ for software
Display servers like X11 and Wayland allow users to use GUI, without it you will be stuck using the TTY
