A general rant: The Things I Dislike About Wayland, Let Me Count Them

As stated in the thread title this is a general rant aimed at no one.

Installed a fresh copy of 240428 Garuda Dragonized Gaming to finally run Wayland through it’s paces. The below is what I’ve run into so far.

Added panels missing on logoff or reboot and having to logoff or reboot to get them back.

Go to add icons to the additional panels and the system freezes then after about a minute of that the Plasma crashes. Try again and the same thing. Logout and into x11, add my icon without issue.

Kwin goes inoperable from time to time requiring at least a logoff.

Finally remembers everything I had open and reopens them on logoff or reboot, but with Dolphin instead of opening TV SERIES in one window the current show I’m watching in another and my main Dolphin wind with four tabs all 3 windows open to the exact same thing.

None of these behaviors happen in x11. Wayland in general is more responsive, but I honestly think at this stage I can live with x11 being a bit less responsive.

I have not experienced these after KDE6 was released.
Before that, it was impossible to use wayland for me.
