I keep trying Wayland and an in the middle of an attempt. I use fedora maniacally updated, Nvidia, and plasma shell. I'm about to abort again:

-even configured to directly use Wayland, I see chrome based browsers glitch out on occasion, and when it starts glitching it just keeps on glitching

-plasma panel stops updating multiple times a day, staying frozen including the clock

-sometimes kwin starts, but plasmashell has to run manually, and per above has to be restarted on occasion

-occasionally it just forgets what the monitor resolution is supposed to be and reverts to 1024x768

-the blur translucency effect glitches around mouse cursor

-immersedvr doesn't support Wayland

On the flip side, xorg problems are: -occasionally kwin can't grab keyboard for some effects until restarted. This is a well documented bug butt other than it being xorg specific, doesn't seem to be figured out.

-some things tear in ugly ways, but not nearly as bad as the chrome glitch under Wayland.

Maybe kwin isn't a great Wayland compositor, maybe Nvidia drivers are still not up to snuff. Ultimately, it's not viable for me. Further kwin is a huge factor for "why Linux desktop" for me, gnome shell is more limited even than Windows for my workflows.
