- Disable the network access of the virtual machine (I only enable it in the virtual machines that I produce).
- If you want more speed while trying the virtual machine (because you are not going to regularly use the virtual machine): go to "System settings", in the search box write "File search", press Enter, and disable the "Enable File Search" checkbox.
- If you need even more speed, you can disable desktop effects.

If you want anything working, not just Wayland, don't use KDE.
So in summary, this wasn't a quality issue with KDE but rather graphics drivers.
Note that there is an argument this may not be required because graphics drivers have improved a lot.Last edited by mdedetrich; 31 July 2020, 03:47 PM.

I've been using Kubuntu/Plasma for 18 months now and love it, won't go back to the default Ubuntu DE. What does:

What other issues are you seeing with KDE on Wayland?
The Konsole I had open in my X session is nowhere to be found.
The panel got moved to the wrong screen. When I tried to move it back, it got lost, I can't see in anywhere. When adding another panel, I'm informed there are instances of my favorite widgets already running, so it's the original panel still runs somewhere, unseen.
Night light is also acting up (it's not exactly solid in X either, it just feels more impredictible in Wayland).
Some desktop effects got turned off (maybe I can turn them on again, but in the light of the above, it's not worth it).
On the plus side, independent monitor scaling seems to work as advertised. Moving windows around feels smoother, but since my monitors are 60Hz, there will always be some ghosting.

You using Ubuntu? Because with Neon installed on Ubuntu 20.04 my entries include "Plasma (Wayland) (Wayland)" and "Ubuntu on Wayland (Wayland)". It's making me wonder if either SLIM or Ubuntu tacks on (Wayland) to Wayland sessions.

Also they should bring back full screen undirection. Disabling whole compositor is not only annoying but also is not the right way to do it. Does Windows, macOS or Android disables composition completely? It's not that bad with games on full screen (unless you want to Alt-Tab) but it's very annoying when you run some SDL2 application in window and KDE disables composition. Yeah, you can disable that but performance will drop and setting windows rules for every application is not very comfortable.
I'm aware that GNOME has disadvantages, so don't take this as another "Holy GNOME vs KDE war" comment but compositing works much better on GNOME. Not only it is always active and full screen undirection is used (I've compared full screen graphics performance between GNOME and some window manager without compositor and there wasn't noticeable difference) but it's also pretty stable. On KDE I sometimes saw panel flickering during Cover Flow Alt-Tab animation.
