The desktops being roughly similar is only a necessity for users who
were already old when they learned MacOS or Windows and did so
stubbornly. Considering how difficult it was for them to adopt that
much, you wouldn't want to put an entirely different operating system in
front of them. For anyone else, a switch from Windows to Gnome or
Cinnamon shouldn't be such a chore.

On Linux, “different GUIs” is not the same as “different operating

computing world put together.

 
Wont the obsolence of X11 put and end to that?  Many Desktop
Environments and Window Managers won't work at all on Wayland, from what
I understand.

Only Gnome and KDE seem to fully support Wayland. For everything else,
it's experimental. That's part of why I'm not using Linux Mint at the
moment. Cinnamon isn't scheduled to use Wayland until the 23.x releases
which means that if you have a laptop and enjoy using gestures, you
won't be getting full support there.

I'm in no hurry for Wayland. If Linux Mint makes Wayland the default, I hope
I'll still be able to revert to X11 with a one line change in the
configuration.
