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.

    I haven't had plasma crash on debian, fedora, or opensuse using wayland on three completely different, albeit older setups. It was completely unusable briefly on opensuse with an Nvidia card, but zero crashes that I can recall.
