If you are using KDE on X11 right now, maybe you should give KDE Plasma a try.
- dotancohen 5y agoIs there a KDE desktop other than Plasma? I do believe that I'm using KDE Plasma.
- FreeFull 5y agoI'm sorry, I meant specifically KDE's Wayland compositor. I misremembered, it seems Plasma is more general than just the Wayland session
- bjourne 5y agoRunning KDE on Wayland is afaict still not well-supported.
- FreeFull 5y agoFrom what I've seen, it seems to work really well nowadays. AFAIK the Steam Deck even uses the Wayland KDE session for its desktop mode.
- bjourne 5y agoHave you tried it yourself? "Wayland support in the KDE Plasma Workspaces is in a tech-preview state. The workspaces have been developed for X11 and much functionality relies on X11. To be able to make proper use of Wayland these bits have to be rewritten." https://community.kde.org/KWin/Wayland https://community.kde.org/KWin/Wayland
- FreeFull 5y agoYeah, I did try it out for a while, a year ago or so. Ended up sticking with sway due to personal preferences, but in general the KDE Wayland session acted the way I expected, and I didn't run into any bugs.
