There probably are some very good advancements with Wayland and KDE.
Unfortunately I won't be seeing them any time soon. I can't use the nouveau driver with my
nVidia card since it suffers from hangs. So, I use the nVidia drivers supplied by rpmfusion.
There was a nouveau bug that caused hangs on my GT218 for kernels after
5.8.18, but the bug has been fixed in current kernels.
nVidia had made many changes to their drivers to better support Wayland. But, my
video card has is not supported in the latest nVidia drivers. :-( And, I'm not sure I want
to spend the $ on a supported card.
Mine is also unsupported by nVidia. Large enterprises will start dumping Intel
gen 7 systems that can't run Windows 11 without hacks, but supply chain issues
mean the process will be slower than usual. Linux generally lives happily on
2--3 years old boxes (time to get robust drivers, not enough time for newer
drivers to mess up) and they have good coverage of any issues in linux forums.
