Yup... maybe. There is some confusion in what the implications of this 'default setting is to use Wayland' are. When calling upon the oracle, I was expecting to steer a discussion which can end up as yet another Q(&A) for the FAQ. After many years of Linux use, my understanding is still shadowy on this... mainly because most of the articles I stumbled upon are too high level. So having a 'this are the implications of Wayland for Emacs' kind of _short_ document may be helpful.

Debian 11 distro's default setting is to use Wayland. Is that what you
mean by pure Wayland?

And both the builds working fine on my system. I tried --with-pgtk and
without it.

Side note: Recently I have switched back to non PGTK build because
set-frame-width and set-frame-height has very erratic behaviour with
PGTK.
