I've been trying to switch to Wayland and KDE plasma for some time but it's just so glitchy. Graphics bugs such as the tasks switcher showing black or flickery preview thumbnails or Firefox bringing down the whole system when opening a single 4k PNG indicate that it's still unfortunately very much an alpha.

Maybe in another decade or so.

Interesting, I had these issues around 2 years ago with my Nvidia GPU, making Wayland unusable (especially the honestly probably epilepsy-inducing flicker).

After an Nvidia graphics driver release everything cleared up to be very usable (though occasionally stuff still crashed, like once or twice a week). I heavily dislike Nvidia and went with AMD just around a month ago, zero issues.

I'm curious to hear about what hardware you have.

Hmm, I use KDE Plasma with Wayland and have had zero issues. What GPU are you using?

Since Linux Kernel 6.16 w/ Cosmic it's been really stable for me... but that's just my own experience. Though it really depends on your hardware... TFA mentions a rather exotic 8k display, for example.
