My only experience with Wayland was on my HP laptop (OLD). There, Wayland was just not usable. But, I just now decided to see how it fares on my new AMD PC. None of the 'failings' I experienced on the laptop are present on the AMD rig. I'll continue to use it for awhile to see how well it does.

Wayland performs well on my 5700G.Linux User #454271 -
It works well on my 2013 HP HP Pavilion 15-p077sa with an Intel Core i3-4030U with Intel HD Graphics 4400
It runs just dandy on my gaming rig. intel i5-13400 and RX6650XT
Am considering selling the 6650, and trying something "difficult", but team Green is still too effing expensive.
Maybe I will try an Intel Arc A580, a little bit of a step down, but not common, and even less so on Linux, and quite inexpensive.Comment

So now I have to correct myself. Plasma (Wayland) runs just fine on my HP laptop; I just tried. It's my KDE neon User Edition running in a VM (Oracle VirtualBox) that doesn't like playing with Plasma (Wayland), and I think claydoh already opined on 'why' that likely is in another thread.

Of course, it works well for me using virt-manager, but of course I do realize that I am usually blessed in terms of things working.
(except for my arm64 Lenovo laptop, cuz I be lazy and don't wanna go into the weeds yet to do all the things to build and install stuff )Comment
