It was the one that came default with ubuntu 22.10
But as I have stated in my initial post, the feature had been restored by reinstalling Xwindow
Also, I feel that the commands equivalent to
xset dpms force off
xset dpms force standby
xset dpms force suspend
Should be the same regardless which wayland variant you are using.
They dont need to, a Desktop could just use another compositor and the rest of the stuff but they often dont. wlroots is a project doing some general work, but most of the others dont.
What does this mean? Like unplugging without unplugging? Keeping one screen active and only turning off the other one?
I mean in the KDE monitor options I can choose [mirror,extend to left,extend to right,only external,only internal] so this is 100% possible.
Something like that yes, I want to turn off the side monitors with a single button press.
This will be possible and likely available as a command for your specific compositor. What are you using?

No the implementations are per-compositor. The fact that this worked on X is due to.XOrg being a huge blob that every window manager relied on.
Look for the command in Mutter (GNOME), Kwin (KDE), or whatever DE you use.
That, is terrible
Its how Linux works lol. I mean there are tons of things per compositor.
The protocols are way cleaner and less, so it is easier for Distros to just write their own.
But for sure it is annoying that everyone wants to do their own. But that is not a Wayland problem, just nobody wanted to mess with XOrg.
Seems wasteful that each would need to build their own monitor power management interface.
