Pankaj> Debian 11 distro's default setting is to use Wayland. Is that what
you
mean by pure Wayland?

Yup... maybe. There is some confusion in what the implications of this
'default setting is to use Wayland' are. When calling upon the oracle, I
was expecting to steer a discussion which can end up as yet another Q(&A)
for the FAQ. After many years of Linux use, my understanding is still
shadowy on this... mainly because most of the articles I stumbled upon are
too high level. So having a 'this are the implications of Wayland for
Emacs' kind of _short_ document may be helpful.
