Multi monitor has issues in KDE itself as well, I'm on AMD and there are a few really annoying (and confirmed) bugs when it comes to multi monitor setups. Some bugs go waaaaay back.

Sadly nothing is being done about it.

Edit: issues were fixed in 6.4 <3

I love this comment. I love it because even though I don't know what wayland is, I gather by context it's popular, and has something to do with output of your display.

And it's popular, but it doesn't work FOR YOU.

And you have to point out that just because something works for others, doesn't mean it works for everybody.

I'm pretty unskilled when it comes to linux, but I've noticed linux users fall into one of two groups.

First, the group who genuinely want to help you. They may not KNOW the exact answer, because they don't know your exact hardware, but they try to help with common problems.

The other group takes it as a personal insult if you're having problems in linux that you don't know how to solve. Like linux is part of their personality, and they think linux is perfect without the ability to have problems. Therefore the guy asking for help is just trying to insult linux, and therefore themselves. They then respond with hostility and personal insults about how it's your problem.

Yeah. It IS my problem. Can ya figure out what I'm doing wrong?

But they don't see it that way. In their eyes, linux is perfect, and you're an asshole for saying you have an issue.

So what I'm saying is, I love how you already know you need to state upfront you KNOW it works for others, but not for you.

Wayland support for touch screens is generally a lot better than Xorg due to the simplified design

No one actually uses Weston as it is more of a Wayland demo than anything

When it works it's fantastic. I was entirely unable to use kde under xorg on my laptop, but with Wayland it's quite usable.

I've also experienced kde-Wayland with an Nvidia gpu on a much more powerful desktop and I could barely log in, the mouse would move every 5 seconds or so. I did manage to find a distro with properly updated drivers as I knew it was coming down the line, but holy crap did I get to understand why Nvidia gets the hate.

I have 2 computers with KDE which I've been using for the past 6 months or so. I recently read about how to switch to Wayland (log out, find the option, log back in). Both of my computers were using X11, not sure why. Maybe I chose that during installation.

I switched both to Wayland and I'm going to do my best to stick to it. One of my computers has an older Nvidia card but luckily I don't seem to have any problems.

Purely anecdotal, but maybe a large part of the 27% using X11 don't even know the difference.

From what I read, it was originally higher (82%), but went down because SteamOS has X11 as its default.

You can read more about KDE X11 plan on here: https://pointieststick.com/2025/06/21/about-plasmas-x11-session/

Quoted from the blog: "Current status: Plasma’s X11 session continues to be maintained.

Specifically, that means:

• We’ll make sure Plasma continues to compile and deploy on X11.
• Bug reports about the Plasma X11 session being horribly broken (for example, you can’t log in) will be fixed.
• Very bad X11-specific regressions will probably be fixed eventually.
• Less-bad X11-specific bugs will probably not be fixed unless someone pays for it.
• X11-specific features will definitely not be implemented unless someone pays for it. "

Bit chicken and egg though, isn't it? Maybe a big desktop environment enforcing Wayland will get people working more on the fixes for the stuff that doesn't work out yet.

I understand people being annoyed if they are in the 30% though, and not trying to dismiss that.

Of course they're not going to drop it while it's still at 73%.
