I agree. That said, I’ve recently acquired a 2020 15" HP Spectre x360, which runs LMDE 7 beautifully with KDE Plasma on Wayland. Tablet mode works, the screen orientation accelerometer works, Thunderbolt works, the OLED 4K display is gorgeous, and it’s got a really funky yet clean design.
When I got my current laptop, I chose Gnome because Wayland support was decent at the time and virtually no other desktop supported it. Later, a few others began supporting Wayland but I haven’t tried them.
I used KDE long ago with X11 and I loved it. I think I should give it another go, so that’s why I’m wondering. Is Wayland support ready yet?
I liked it so much that I switched my gaming PC (running LMDE6) from Cinnamon on X11 to KDE Plasma on Wayland, and it’s incredibly good.
I built this PC with reliability in mind. X11 is the “older but most stable and compatible” option, and historically, Wayland has been the choice for those living on the edge. That should say a lot.

Best of both worlds IMO.
Congratulations! How’s KDE running on Wayland?
