The problem is that I find Wayland to be a lot buggier than x11.

For example, terminal transparency using Konsole on KDE flickers for me.

Its nearly there, but not quite. Maybe Gnome has no such issues?

Do you have more specifics? I just tried it on my machine (Fedora 42, Plasma 6.5.1 Wayland, Konsole 25.08.2, Radeon 780M) and it seems fine for me. Does it only occur occasionally/under specific circumstances for example?

I have been testing and its Konsole 25.08.1, does not affect XFCE Terminal.

Plasma v: 6.3.6, Ryzen 7 5800U with integrated graphics. Happens every time I use Konsole with transparency.

I've never seen similar issues using a variety of terminals on Gnome, Sway, or Niri. Haven't used Konsole or Plasma, but I wonder if it's maybe a driver issue?
