    Some things just don’t work properly on Wayland. For example, #NoMachine remote #Plasma desktop sessions connect, show a white screen, then disconnect. Switching to an X11 session solves the problem.

    This is a showstopper, so I’m sticking with X.Org.

    Things like this needed to be ironed out before making it a permanent and exclusive replacement.
