Can we revert this decision, seems almost all the people have the same
opinion ... that Plasma on Wayland is not ready for production.
IMHO, try run it in wayland should be a optin .
We have been aware of the wayland induced issues for a couple of years.
The fedora kde/qt team are aware of the issues wayland causes and just
blame the apps.
What's the best way to test KDE/Plasma on Wayland these days? I now
have a few PCs that I'd like to test on, all of which are currently
running F33. And ideally I can reliably see what life under Wayland
would feel like in F34 without having to run Rawhide or something like
that:
* Dual-monitor desktop with NVidia and proprietary drivers having been
upgraded through many Fedora releases over the years
* Single-monitor desktop with AMD RX 5600 XT and all OSS drivers and
is a fresh install
* Laptop (Dell XPS 13 from ~4 years ago) with Intel video
I'm then happy to compile a list of things that don't work (hopefully
the list is empty), and we can throw that into a table on the a wiki
somewhere with tracking bugs and workarounds (possibly such a page
already exists?) which will both help evaluate whether
Wayland-by-default will be a successful change, but also serve as a
starting point for any additional work that may be needed to make
Plasma-on-Wayland better.
(I did try the default Fedora/Gnome for a couple weeks on the
AMD-based system and gave up in frustration when a bunch of things
didn't work, especially CopyQ, my Clipboard Manager which is a
dealbreaker for me)
