I tried switching back to Wayland two days ago, with a relatively recent version of KDE Plasma (using KDE Neon) and an NVidia RTX 3070Ti using the latest proprietary driver.

On the upside, the issue of having *anything* with transparency freezing the whole desktop is gone. This included extensions popup in firefox and the time tooltip when hovering the clock in the notification area…

On the downside, it made weylus unusable (a particularly niche case unfortunately), related to how window location and screen arrangement are reported. And video capture is not happy too…
OBS became unpredictable (a relatively larger case I'd wager). Related, the portal popup that allow selecting a screen/window for screen sharing freeze with a particularly obtuse error message in the logs (`mesa: error: MESA: failed to import sync file 'too many open files'`) rendering the whole thing useless, as even screen sharing from the browser is now borked.

And, still happening, trying to use the clipboard from a terminal application (say, using clipboard manipulation in vim in konsole) still won't work without setting up some call to external scripts that can't handle all common use cases.

So, one day ago, I switched again to X11. Everything works, and since I have no use for fractional scaling or anything fancy on my decade old displays, there's no tangible downside.

Also, since we're on the internet, some disclaimer: I *know* that this is only a personal experience. But it exists; on a system that's mostly a vanilla installation of Ubuntu+KDE Plasma, using very common software, on a graphic card from a manufacturer that represents a large share of the general public. And some of these issues are so often brushed off that it really irks me. I don't really have the resource to put development time in Plasma's implementation of wayland, and trying to raise awareness is usually met with a wall, which is frustrating. But as it is, switching to Wayland, on my relatively modern, up-to-date system, means losing features, having some software completely unusable, and the only recourse as a user will soon disappear. It does not feel great.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience 😌. Articulating all of this - despite previous frustrations with talking about this - sounds like not insignificant effort and time (it would be for me anyway 😄).
