It would be great if the various DE teams would just come together and work towards creating one truly great, bug free DE for Linux.
A required reading actually for everyone who is into learning about open source communities.

By the way, Plasma 5 works fine even on Mali-400 GPU class, funny it does not work on nvidia!
I mentioned this a few times before, but people just don't want to accept that AMD is not the holy grail to make Wayland work.

There's a SKU for the model, but devices and PHYs are where the real kernel support comes in, and unfortunately, those can change without notice in the same overall SKU, and even if they don't vary, they aren't transparent about what particular parts they've used.
(Strategy, btw, is to have a wide tolerance for age, say 1-2 years, compile lists of probable parts used in the models that meet usage requirements, then search sites like linuxhardware/forums/etc., and, most importantly, search the kernel source. Obvs, searching the source can be done on the web in the browser, so there really isn't an excuse no to, if you're wandering off the path of Linux sellers. And to be clear, currently nvidia graphics on a laptop doesn't meet my "supported" criteria.)
I also wish we could hold resellers like System76 to getting good hardware, though it seems ungrateful. We have all been bitten by this industry's inside dealing with coupons, rebates, contracts, etc., but at some point there is a choice between margin (padded by a manufacturer's marketing) and doing the healthy thing for the ecosystem.

MSI mini PC
AMD Ryzen 5
16 GB RAM
Plasma 5 Wayland throws a black screen after entering the password in SDDM and then bounces back to SDDM. He uses openSUSE Tumbleweed, while Plasma 5 (but not Plasma 6) works fine on my AMD hardware with Tumbleweed.
