KDE Going all-in on a Wayland future (blogs.kde.org)

Well folks, it’s the beginning of a new era: after nearly three decades of KDE desktop environments running on X11, the future KDE Plasma 6.8 release will be Wayland-exclusive! Support for X11 applications will be fully entrusted to Xwayland, and the Plasma X11 session will no longer be included.

While Nvidia has made it trickier to play with Linux in general, it usually does not require more than a tinker to fix

I have multiple machines running on Nvidia and AMD hardware with Wayland for years

Its some combination of plasma and wayland. I run wayland on a few machines here and there and they are okay. The last bug I encountered with wayland was getting a game emulator working for someone in window mode. No one who responded wanted to do anything other than blame the program for not working with wayland. None of that helps solve a problem. So I solved it by switching to X11 and the program worked okay in window mode.
