KDE fans will complain GNOME wayland is a buggy mess, GNOME fans will complain KDE is a buggy mess.. Do some people have issues? Yes, its going to happen but on my subjective opinion on GNOME and KDE they both worked without any issues in Wayland for as long as I have been using them with Wayland. (Does not mean everyone else is going to have the same experience) GNOME for me falls behind KDE in gaming due to no VRR support merged yet.

Some issues were annoying - like horizontal lines in terminal, some very annoying like XWayland apps window maximized were not maximized really leaving 1px zone were you can click the underlying window.
And the most annoying were linux drivers leading to full screen flicker or just white screen. Switching to xorg resolved most of my problems sans the amdgpu drivers, but under Xorg the problem was not as noticable. Driver problem is not KDE specific, GNOME wayland suffer from it as well.
So yeah, wayland need it's fixes.

I am on Kubuntu 23.04 and kernel 6.2.7 (custom build). Plasma 5.27.3 works great with Wayland and RX 6800 XT. There were those lines and ghosts when 5.27 was initially released. Those are fixed now. Steam games also run no problems now. I can say 5.27.3 is stable for me on Kubuntu daily.

Realized it was me 5 other people in the world with the same setup. Nail in the coffin was seeing the main dev struggling for funding. Now I’m on GNOME, but this looks like the time to give KDE another shot.
KWinFT might have been the right technical approach, but the KWin’s development resources seems to have overcome that. Too bad. I think KDE would be much better off today if they had followed his lead. Goes to show technical prowess means little if your personality drives people away.
