Lol love the title.
I feel the same about KDE on Wayland, it's amazing but it's not stable enough yet.
Took my laptop to work and it had a stroke when I plugged it into the office monitors
That's weird.
To share a contrasting experience, I run KDE on Wayland on a laptop with two physical monitors with different rotations and three virtual monitors with different resolutions and it all Just Works.
I have a Nvidia GPU, and the monitors are work are old-ish
Might be the issue 🤷♂️
Ah, well I wouldn't blame any of your graphical issues on any Linux software then.
I'm running KDE Wayland on an AMD 9070 XT video card and I've absolutely no problem. Perhaps it's your system because Wayland has been heaven. Linux is finally a modern OS.
I plug in the monitor through HDMi, everything freezes.
I reboot, works fine.
I plug out the HDMI, everything freezes.
Yeah that's a KDE classic. I think I had one KDE version a few years back that had no issues with my dock but it broke on a kernel update. Maybe it's not entirely fair to blame KDE but I never had the same issues on GNOME, Sway or Niri...
According to my research it's Wayland.
If you switch to X11 it should be fine. I've updated some configs and I think it's stable now, but I'll see
Which version of KDE Plasma?
Plasma 6, with GTX4070
I assume driver issues
Which Plasma 6? I'm on 6.5.5
6.4.5
chiming in as another person running KDE on wayland with no more issues than i've had on any other software
