Plasma on Wayland is not ready yet according to my requirements, but I try it once in a while anyway. The work upstream is ongoing, check out the links below [1][2] to get more information - leading KDE developers admit that Wayland support is still far from perfect but it gets better every day. Unfortunately packaging KDE/Plasma is hard and it takes a lot of time, so there is also a noticeable delay between upstream releases and packages availability. Keep testing is the minimum we can do for Debian. But if you have time and desire - reporting bugs upstream and helping with packaging are also time-worthy activities/ [1] https://kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.19.0 [2] https://pointieststick.com/2020/06/08/lenovo-thinkpad-x1-yoga-impressions-bugs-workarounds-and-thoughts-about-the-future/ -- Ihor Antonov
