Sorry to top post but I can’t help it.
Just to fill the picture, I find wayland pretty much unusable. I’m on a very standard
hardware, an hp probook with an I5 and intel graphic. I can login, and run programs, but
window manager places windows where it feels like, except where program asks it to place
it. Other small things not working, working wrongly or just missing.
No good for anything else than evaluation. It should be more efficient than X11, but my
measurements do not show any difference when running apps.
I’ll stick to X11 until wayland becomes a tool and not a toy.

I have two boxes running kde and X11 in F38 with nVidia GT 710 cards and rpmfusion 470xx
drivers. They worked well until a few weeks ago when one box started reporting graphics
resets in Kwin, which I posted about here. I'm still seeing them, usually with a
quick autorecovery. I haven't yet tried nouveau.
But it has been my understanding that 470xx doesn't fully support Wayland. Today I
tried a Wayland login, but was consistently returned to the login screen. X11 is still
mainly ok. I'm wondering why Wayland is working for you.
