In my quest to get redshift working, or an alternative, I installed and started keeping tabs on the performance of Wayland. It was unsurprisingly hard to use, being very choppy, at first. After the latest post 19.06 updates something borked my xorg plasma session and started boot looping. On a whim to get to the desktop I selected a Wayland session, and it not only got me in, but its running fairly well, with noticeable improvements. The performance even feels better than with xorg. Night color works well, with some slight choppiness while transitioning temperatures. I have a feeling not many people thought to try running Wayland on the Pinebook, so I figured Id let it be known, its actually worth it now.
