Heya, I’m currently on Opensuse Slowroll with KDE-Wayland and came from Leap for more recent updates. Even if Slowroll promises monthly big updates, the rolling snapshots still seem to replace most of the system weekly with ~4GB downloads. I don’t like that. I looked at Fedora, but found that I would like .deb-compatibility, if I’m already switching. Debian stable is as stale as Leap from what I can see. Debian testing is in flux, and people don’t agree on stability. Kubuntu has built-in reliance on snaps, which makes me hesitant to switch. I’m currently trying Mint-Xfce with post-install KDE, it doesn’t seem to have wayland support.

Are there any good daily-drivers with sane updates and good support, I should try? I’m not willing to do proper Arch yet, never mind that that would be bleeding-edge-rolling. _

      Found the issue:
      plasma-desktop recommends kwin-x11 first, and kwin-wayland as an alternative.
      So if you just install plasma on Mint, it may install kwin-x11 only.

      sudo apt install plasma-workspace-wayland should pull in everything that’s needed.
