I use it too, on an Intel NUC. It works just fine, no issues. I am using X however, I heard Wayland is currently broken.

One thing I like is that the team maintaining the desktop apps is very responsive. Usually new KDE versions are pushed to latest within a day or so.

I can vouch for the complete opposite. I use sway, an i3 like Wayland compositor (compositor = window manager in the confusing wayland lingo), and its completely problem free, only changing kern.evdev.rcpt_mask to get input working and specifying a sway socket file thingy is needed. (Something I am confused as to why package maintainers don't set by default) Maybe the wayland mode of other Window Managers is broken, which can have both X11 and Wayland modes.

Oh ok, I heard this in the IRC channel. Maybe it was just someone who was having issues. Someone mentioned about wayland and one of the maintainers was like "Yeah we know, it's broken, working on it". It was probably some specific. Sorry for the incorrect information.

I use KDE by the way, I know of sway but never used it.
