You don't strike me as a very serious participant in this conversation. "Wayland is not improving"? Spare me. If you have anything serious to say on that topic, you'll have to describe what differentiates a well-engineered solution and a crutch in your mind, and then explain why things like the proposed color management protocol or whatever else falls in the "crutch" category.
I'm happy for you that you get a tear-free X11 desktop. A quick Google search should make it obvious that I'm not the only person who experiences tearing with X though.
I don't know the details of your system, but the screen locker issue seems to definitely affect xfce4-screensaver; this issue is still open: https://gitlab.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-screensaver/-/issues/75. And just for fun, here's the same bug for Ubuntu (just for a different screen locker): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/..., still open. Maybe try to follow the reproduction steps listed in those two issues and see if you're affected or if your system is magically immune. Maybe inform those projects that the issue is fixed?
Finally:
> The only thing that works in all use-cases is Xorg.
Xorg doesn't work for my use case. I have multiple monitors of different refresh rates and different DPI settings and I demand a tear-free desktop, Wayland is the only option which works for that use case.
