    It's starting to be usable for me, too, but it's not "quite nice" yet. Some maximized windows weirdness (supposedly already fixed, waiting for the next point release), can't drag-and-drop windows in the taskbar, no windows preview in the taskbar (it's all black).
    But a few show stopper bugs have been dealt with recently, so kudos for that.

    Edit: Scaling also sucks, but that's on Wayland, probably won't be fixed a year from now

    The good thing is, KDE devs know that it's bad for now and are addressing the issue. My guess is that it will take few more releases to sort it out.

    HiDPI handling for Xwayland apps is what I miss so I'll stick to GNOME on one of my machines for a bit longer even if they'll improve multi-display setups.

    I tested Plasma on Wayland on my Intel laptop. It gets to the point when it's hard to distinguish which session it is (unless screen tearing is happening, then you know it's X11).
    The only issue I had was plasmashell crashing every time I disconnected HDMI display. Luckily, it's not KWin crashing, so I could just `kstart5 plasmashell` and it stays fine. Even things like dragging and dropping things between windows just works, which wasn't always the case.

    Today that's been solved:

    Is there any way to do a "switch user" with KDE+wayland any more or do you have to log out an log back in again. With Xwayland I am able to do a ALT+CTRL+F3 and start a second session there as a different user so I can be logged in as two different users and quickly switch between them. That doesn't seem to be possible if both sessions are plasma-wayland because as soon as you switch back to the first session the second one just turns black and never comes back.

    These multiscreen placing issues have to be solved to make Wayland a real full replacement for Xorg.
    This is really a bug with KWin not Wayland though, this isn't a problem in GNOME.

    You may have just discovered how to create a black hole.
