Folks,

Please, share your experience with Plasma Wayland:

Does switching from Plasma Wayland to vt and back work for anybody (without the patch posted by Oleg)?

Does any Qt6 WebEngine app (e.g. Falkon, KMail, Akregator) work for you under Plasma Wayland?

Any success story for running Plasma Wayland on NVidia GPU?

Hello, I normally use Plasma X11 so this is just a one-off experience:

Doesn't work for me, the system froze but I was able to perform a regular shutdown using the power button.

Sorry, Intel GPU here.

FreeBSD 14.3-STABLE with all the updates (i.e. KDE 6.5.2 as of today).

The patch, of course, only works for me in the setup that doesn't involve launching sddm first.
 
The patch only works for me if I run dbus-run-session ck-launch-session startplasma-wayland (or /usr/local/lib/libexec/plasma-dbus-run-session-if-needed ck-launch-session startplasma-wayland) to launch the GUI. In this situation, SDDM is not involved at all. If I switch to a bare TTY while Plasma is running and then switch back, I see the GUI, and all previously opened graphical apps stay open. In an SDDM-based setup, however, I have to kill Xorg after VT switching; otherwise, when I return to the Alt+F9 TTY, I encounter a non-functional SDDM. Killing Xorg spawns a functional SDDM, but the previously opened apps are no longer open when I access the Wayland desktop.
 
Ok my situation is completely different then.

Using sddm (latest available in the repos) when I try switching from the GUI to a tty everything seems to hang, starting from the mouse pointer. I don't even get to see a tty. However, I'm sure that the underlying system is still working because pressing the power button triggers a regular shutdown.

I can try to remap the power button to logout if you think it may help further testing, let me know.
 
I had tried Plasma Wayland a couple of times with Nvidia, but no success.
I gave up a couple of months ago and am waiting for a success message from a Nvidia user.
