None of the MCC or MCWS mechanisms to control the window would work (minimize, maximize, restore, change view). I think Wayland required UI (mouse) interaction to do this - presumably for security reasons. So using the display with only MCWS control was a no-no.

The first and only alternative I tried was Kubuntu (which uses KDE), and that works well enough. Although black-screen hangs meant that I eventually had to take out my Nvidia card and use motherboard graphics instead. I am sure that there are other, more mainstream, options. But that is my experience.

On my old Macbook Pro (5,5) that I run ubuntu on, I need to use the proprietary NVidia driver to get proper behavior.

You can log out when logged into Ubuntu and switch the GNOME session to X instead of Wayland.

You can indeed. And while it may still be possible, it's tricker on a machine with no mouse or keyboard! In my case it was simply easier to pick a different distro.

Well I am happy to report Deb-12 is working mostly ;) biggest issue I had was switching from wayland to X11 once done the system is running much smoother.
My external monitor is again working but it's startup and initialization is sorta janky there's stuff that I have to do every time the os boots to make it work.
When it comes to external monitors pop-os is the clear winner of the "just work's no fuss no muss" award.
On deb-12 I am using exclusively KDE Plasma.
MC has been working with zero issues so far.

Well debian is not going to work for me, issues with my ext monitor on my laptop and only oss built in graphic drivers means gameing is crap with this distro. back to pop os.
