Wayland. It comes up a lot: “Bug X fixed in the Plasma Wayland session.” “The Plasma Wayland session has now gained support for feature Y.” And it’s in the news quite a bit lately with the announcement that Fedora KDE is proposing to drop the Plasma X11 session for version 40 and only ship the Plasma Wayland session. I’ve read a lot of nervousness and fear about it lately. So today, let’s talk about it!

I replaced my Nvidia with an AMD graphics card last year. Ever since ive been using Wayland on KDE Plasma without any issue. I have 2 VRR Monitors connected with different refresh rates, which felt clunky on X11 and now feels fluid and just brilliant to use. I don't use X11 Sessions at all anymore and only have XWayland for stuff that requires it
