Re: Wayland
yes , I read but I did not get any wiser.
Re: Wayland
Not any current edition of Linux Mint uses Wayland.
For Wayland support a so-called Wayland compositor is needed. For Gnome this is Mutter, for the Gnome fork Cinnamon it will supposedly at some future time be the Mutter fork Muffin. For Xfce it is/will be wlroots (grown out of Sway WM) and for MATE if not mistaken libmir, grown out of the once with Wayland competing Mir project from Canonical. Personally I expect I'll only ever be interested in Cinnamon again if it goes independent and wlroots based -- which I very, very (as in very) much doubt it will.
Most programs will be Wayland compatible natively, and XWayland is an X Server running on top of Wayland so that bug-level incompatibilities exempted, by and large any "normal X11 application" will be able to remain functional.

Re: Wayland
Wayland is a pretty big project and I don't think any desktop projects other than Gnome and KDE have the resources to implement Wayland any time soon.

Re: Wayland
Both Xfce and MATE are on it. Sway is (of note due to wlroots) and even an Openbox inspired WM such as LabWC is (Xfce is a little farther along than that first link makes it appear).
