C++ package management can be complicated.
Below are some key tools involved:
Make runs commands defined in a Makefile, for example, to build and install programs with the compiler and linker. For our purposes, we won't worry about what this looks like; you only need to understand its purpose in relation to CMake.

Hence, if you are interested in existing applications to "just work" without the need for adjustments, then you may be better off avoiding Wayland.
Wayland solves no issues I have but breaks almost everything I need. Even the most basic, most simple things (like xkill) - in this case with no obvious replacement. And usually it stays broken, because the Wayland folks mostly seem to care about Automotive, Gnome, maybe KDE - and alienating everyone else (e.g., people using just an X11 window manager or something like GNUstep) in the process.
