So KDE worked fine, they sabotaged it to force you to switch, and now your conclusion is oh, they were right all along?

Sure, let's go with that!

I'm using X11 here for various reasons, without any stuttering or anything. I'm not running KDE, but i3 with a nice helping of compositing, most notably blurred windows. And this isn't even some kind of absurd machine I'm talking about, but a 3 yo "ultrabook" with integrated graphics. WTH does KDE do to stutter?
I'm using an 8 year old PC with KDE/X and it doesn't stutter. shrug
I have issues on both x11 and Wayland, but the least amount of issues on Wayland.

I think it is mostly because of individual applications, not particularly KDE/Plasma. Some software works better on Wayland, some on x11, some on both.
