Such a shame that Wayland did away with accessibility APIs which makes switching a hard stop for those of us with disabilities that rely on software that works with these APIs.
They work with X11, which had consistent APIs, but Wayland leaves it up to each distro to implement their own APIs, if they do at all, fragmenting the ecosystem.
Hell, even mouse acceleration curves are skuffed now, it really sucks.
X11 still works fine, despite the FUD.
Xfce4 is one option, several others exist.
