GNOME Shell vs. KDE Plasma Graphics Tests On Wayland vs. X.Org Server

With KDE Plasma 5.12 that openSUSE Tumbleweed has picked up, there is much better Wayland session support compared to previous releases. While KDE developers aren’t yet ready to declare their Wayland session the default, in my experience so far it’s been working out very well but still routinely will find application crashes in Kate and the like when testing under the KWin’s Wayland compositor.
