I'm so confused why other people are having so much trouble, I use two computers with AMD GPUs and one with Intel and I haven't had any problems with wayland on Gnome, Plasma, Sway, or Hyprland in the past like two years. The only environment variable I ever changed was the one to make firefox use wayland before that was the default, but that wasn't at all required for the average user, it works fine under xwayland.
Things like, scrensharing, OBS (recently was patched and now it works), discord, spectacle (is a little unstable), screen locking (only one screen or none of them turn off) and some xwayland games/emulators won't work. All of this in a full amd setup with KDE.
With one Novideo 1660s my KDE panel frozen every 30 minutes.
If you only use linux for development or browsing you should find no problems.
Weird, I use OBS, lock my screen, and play games all the time and have never had any problems on KDE. Maybe I'm just lucky with my GPU choices? I use an RX 570 on one computer and an RX 6650 XT on the other.
haven't had discord or screen locking issues and I have plenty of monitors. haven't run into any game issues either, but I do preemptively run older stuff in gamescope which tends to avoid a lot of issues
This is a great advice, I'm having issues with alt tabbing with dota, I should try gamescope as well.
