If not on Wayland, what's stopping you?

X for me.

I tried Wayland a few times over the years but it was always too buggy and many applications just didn't work.

A couple of updates later, Wayland completely stopped working, all I get is a black screen and a cursor.

When was the last time you tried? And which GPU?

I tried it again just now. I can still start a console but plasma just won't start. All I get is

The Wayland connection broke. Did the Wayland compositor die?

plasma-plasmashell.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

qt.qpa.wayland: Wayland does not support QWindow::requestActivate()

I'm on Nvidia of course 😕
