I am running Wayland on an IVB GT1. Your hardware is not possibly shittier than this AND capable of handling modern tasks. Also wayland just needs the infrastructure of doing accelerated draws which if your GPU doesn’t support then it won’t work with X anyway unless you’re running truly exotic 2D accelerators from the 90s
Old computers can’t handle Wayland.

I installed Debian on a 2009 Toshiba netbook recently with an Intel Atom N280, KDE worked about the same (not well) in both the X and Wayland modes.
Because of resources, or because of compatibility?
My 2014 Chromebook can run sway just fine. Wayland can be lighter than x
You have no idea how old computers can be, I believe.
