Not trans but…
X11 lets anyone do anything. That’s bad. A window can type for you and see what you’re typing. Windows level opsec
Wayland only lets root do weird stuff. That’s good. You need privileges to see what a given person is typing or to move their mouse
However, Wayland is still undercooked. It doesn’t have standardized remote desktop functionality, for example. So it’s really more of a “what are you willing to sacrifice” thing. Do you want security or features?
There’s also internal differences but to the end user those don’t really matter
