    I’m on Fedora with Plasma & Wayland, everything just works… Honestly not sure if Fedora is doing something special or all this talk of Plasma being crashy is overblown.

      Plasma has a cycle of releasing a bunch of new features and changes, and then squashing bugs every week when they discover them.

      Debian is on a 2+ year release schedule, and the packages are frozen long before the release. So plasma might be either working fine, or be broken for 2+ years.

      Fedora is semi-stable because it’s on a 4 month schedule, and AFAIK they don’t rush upgrading to new major plasma versions, so plasma works a lot better.

      Generally from my experience, plasma works best on rolling distros, while it’s crap on stable ones. Stable DEs like xfce are incomparably better suited to stable distros.
