I can't wait to switch either, but even with 5.14, plasma-wayland still isn't working for me, despite the fact that I only have an Intel card (2018 laptop model with 2017 hardware, so the Intel card is recent enough). That is: it loads the desktop, but as soon as you interact with the panel options or close Dolphin, the session crashes. Had this issue with 5.12 and 5.13 too. When they fix that and actually make the session useable (it doesn't have to be rock solid, but it needs to the basic things without crashing at least), then I'll switch.
What sucks is it works damn well until I interact with the wrong thing and it crashes...ALT+F2 always causes a crash for an example... It's smoother, animations and compositing are better, and it seems to have less random slowdowns, but then it'll crash or hang and I'll reboot and just use the X11 session.

Nobody seems to be addressing the fact that all of this wayland(in general) gnashing of teeth is pointless if Nvidia is NEVER going to release a driver for it. Their only concern and focus on playing nice with Linux is machine learning. All of you Wayland numbnuts can GFY.
Until that very fk ass large majority of the GPU's on planet Earth are addressed, Wayland is a pipe dream for hippies and dipshits.

Many of their visualization users are Linux-based. For companies like ILM to use Nvidia GPUs in the cloud, they probably want good support for the Quadro cards in their workstations. And if you've seen the pricing on some of those Quadros, it would fund quite a few OSS developers.
