I really hope XFCE gets a port to wayland. I love the GTK2 desktops. I am young enough to remember GTK3 dropping when I was in middle school. I just never really liked gnome 3+ but I still use it for my HTPC (gnome works wonders on a TV)
Definitely consider KDE wayland if/when nvidia cards play nicer with that. Gnome is usable but buggy with nvidia but on my system (RTX 2060) KDE does not fair well.
