I’m currently testing Fedora KDE on a VM (windows host) before eventually switching over to Linux completely.

    IDK, Wayland was super unstable for me on KDE, even on my AMD GPU (RX 6650XT). It wouldn’t launch at all through SDDM (black screen, and I checked other TTYs), and it would lock up quickly (maybe a kernel panic?, I couldn’t even switch TTYs) when I launched through the command line. I used NVIDIA before that, and couldn’t get KDE to launch at all on Wayland (GNOME did, but was buggy), so I used KDE on X until I replaced my GPU.

    I honestly didn’t look much into it, but launching GNOME through GDM worked perfectly, so I didn’t feel the need to debug further.

    My goal was to use Wayland, and I didn’t particularly care which DE did it. I have a slight preference for KDE, but I honestly don’t use enough DE features to care too much, I just want something to launch apps and then go away. As long as it has a decent terminal with tmux, can switch windows, and has a clock with a calendar, that’s enough for me.

      Interesting. I’m using the 6600 on arch kde wayland with no problems. I wonder what caused your issues.

      Anyway as you say if you’ve got a working setup great.
