What examples do you have of hardware not working on Wayland?

Sorry for the awkward phrasing, what I meant was:

Mint (specifically Cinnamon) doesn't have Wayland support. Not having Wayland means it doesn't work well on my new hardware. Not working on my new hardware is a showstopper. Thus I am no longer using Mint.

They might have used one too many negations, but they had hardware "not working without Wayland".

They said they used to use Mint, implying Mint doesn't have Wayland. But that is software not hardware.

Re-reading, I suspect the new hardware with high-DPI requires Wayland, because X11 has poor support for high-DPI (implying Wayland supports it better).
