Quoting: burnallBut if I'm not mistaken none of the current distributions is using any of the new display servers as a default yet. I hoped at least that Fedora 24 will use Wayland as a default, but unfortunatly it's still too unstable. Everything goes soooo slow.
You, sir/madam, need to read up a little bit. Gnome 3 on Wayland is perfectly stable and perfectly usable for most use cases. It not being the default in Fedora is because there are a few things that aren't quite at parity with the X11 version of Gnome 3. Remote desktop and the on-screen keyboard are the major ones, but the list also includes things such as better handling of mice and some Mutter specific code changes

Apart from significantly better graphics what can this do for me that OpenRCT2 can't? Serious question cause I do have a fondness for these sorts of games and would definitely be willing to buy a new one if it gave me a good reason to.

Due to the news from Feral I went back to check on their radar. They've updated it with the Morder symbol but that whale is still there. I wonder what it could be if they haven't announced it today?
