You are incorrect about KDE not supporting wayland. It isn't the default and it
isn't installed by default but you can get wayland support in KDE by installing
"plasma-workspace-wayland". I've not tried it recently, but when I did I
had a
sluggish system.
Thanks Ed, when I had the performance issues with Gdm and Gnome in
Wayland, and I queried why Gnome had them but KDE didn't, and why I
didn't have the same menu entries for KDE that are provided for Gnome, I
was told that Wayland had only been implemented for Gnome.
