Absolutely agree. Mostly run desktop build Pis with X11/MATE for that very reason. Lite plus your desktop of choice works quite well. Hopefully Wayland will continue to stabilize and at some point (any year now) become the one true solution for Linux.If you want better desktop functions, just install the "lite" version of RPIOS and build your desired desktop interface on top of it. It actually works quite well, if you disregard this latest "hiccup" which broke the wayland and plasma integrity, which can be fixed if you revert the latest libwayland updates and put a pin on those affected packages.
In my opinion:
"RPI-5 deserves a better desktop."
