I had issues until about 18 month ago. I went from Wayland completely unusable with my 2080ti to it just works with plasma 6 I think.

Plasma 6 is much improved over 5 in terms of Wayland.

It literally went from .1 fps to workable across multiple monitors over night. I've had one issue since where an update broke multi monitor support where if I changed monitor input without first removing the monitor in display it hard locked my computer. After a couple weeks that was fixed. Now periodically I have to restart Steam sometimes after an Nvidia update sometimes a full system restart, but not always and that's still less restarts than the equivalent on Windows.

I've got a few friends that are considering a full jump, but a couple still play LoL or other anti cheat and aren't willing to jump ship yet. The fight is real and I'm still pushing though. I've been all one for 2+ years now and other than the pre plasma 6 days on kde, I've had one game that I had to tweak some settings for, Ghost of Tsushima didn't have multiplayer support, but the rest have been perfect out of box. For 90%+ of people, gaming and Linux will just work, regardless of GPU.
