    Its about time! Finally, I’ve been waiting a long time for this.

    I wonder what will happen with the mate desktop? I know xfce is getting wayalnd support so mate might be the odd one out

        No, MATE announced Wayland support a while back.

        I know progress on that has been slow, but I look in on it every now and again and work does seem to be steady in porting their core components.

        I’m not sure if they’re settled on a compositor yet. There was talk (from the Ubuntu MATE devs) about using Mir, but I haven’t heard anything about it in ages, and the Mir suggestion was at a time when wlroots was in a much less mature position. With XFCE, Budgie and Raspberry Pi OS all now going the wlroots direction, it’s not inconceivable that MATE will go the same way.
