I've tried the experimental version of Wayland in Linux Mint. It had
some issues — some of it was compatibility issues with older

blotches in the dark portions of the videos (are these "artifacts"?). I
think, however, Wayland is working okay in Fedora. (I'll have to double
check now.)

I run the KDE spin of Fedora. There were a few bumps in the road when I
upgraded from 39 to 40 that I assumed were caused by the KDE Plasma /
Wayland integration. That lasted a couple of weeks with a lot of updates.

iirc the KDE and Qt release cycles were a little off from Fedora's. The
only thing I noticed was a popup in QGIS that said dialog placement might
be off but I didn't encounter any problems and it doesn't appear in
3.40.3.


It hasn't been a problem in Ubuntu either. However I don't do scaling,
weird visual effects, or play games other than mahjongg so I don't stress
the system.
