Host: Mac OS X Mojave
Vmware: Fusion 10
Guest: ArchLinux
Desktop: Plasma 5.14 Wayland(SDDM or GDM works fine)
Note: you need to install vmware tools and enable all hardware acceleration features. in the case of ArchLinux just do on the guest:
su -(or sudo)
Pacman -S open-vm-tools

Seriously, if you refer to Plasma than it depends from your work flow. I had often issues on X11 as well and switching to Wayland just showed other ones. Plasma Wayland has improved a lot, it should get here and there some bugs fixed, but it is quite usable. I'm just a little worried that Qt 5.12 might introduce new regressions and is still not providing the necessary bug fixes.

My experience is that Plasma 5 kwin_x11 used to work OK and was pretty stable - with the Nvidia proprietary drivers.
Then (possibly related to a Qt update) it broke.
Now I can't enable any effects - or kwin_x11 crashes...
It's been like that for months now...
I'm setting up Plasma 5, on my Dell Latitude, which has an Intel iGP (only), to see whether the issues are graphics driver related...
It's really annoying to see such large regressions, that now seem to leave Plasma 5 kwin_x11 perma-broken...

I think wayland is usable for AMD/Intel GPU users but last time I tried it on NVIDIA card it just had a blank/broken desktop or something..
I'm using compiz atm instead of the kwin composer, works great provided you don't enable the legacy KDE Compatibility feature. Some things may require you to set conditions for like panel behind other windows etc.. ccm does the trick.Last edited by theriddick; 09 October 2018, 09:52 PM.

Do you mean the desktop background image? Because that is what I've seen in VM's as well, but at least the panel is fullscreen. Did you open a bug report for this?
Yes, I've reported all these bugs - most of which were auto-closed by Martin, one or two were looked into by someone else but none have been fixed

If it doesn't fix it - open a bug
