> Sadly, KDE still doesn’t support it nicely under Wayland (so I moved to Ubuntu Budgie), but under X11 it’s entirely impossible to run it properly, as except for Qt nothing supports mixed DPI, or mixed refresh rates properly.

Sounds like a roughly equivalent situation either way? Personally I'd sooner use only Qt applications than have to use Gnome.



I’m using (except for firefox) 100% Qt applications under Ubuntu Budgie (which is a bit like elementary but with Wayland support).

The result is good enough for my use case, I don’t have to deal with toy applications and I can use the full crisp resolution.

And thanks to standard protocols, I can use KDE software like KDE Spectacle as screenshot tool or screensharing with Slack, Teams, Jitsi under Budgie just fine.

If your only non-Qt application was Firefox, what was your problem under X11? Certainly for me having to switch to Gnome's WM/panels/etc. much would be more disruptive than switching browsers. (You might find Firefox valuable enough to be worth switching your whole DE for, in which case fair enough, but I don't think it's an objective advantage for Wayland).

(IMO Konqueror is a much better browser, but I'm sure everyone has their own preferences)


I’m a dev, and as it turns out, as firefox is more standards-compliant than chrome, if something runs in firefox, it’ll pretty much run in every browser (the opposite is not true, as blink has lots of custom extensions to the standard you might use accidentally).

Plus I use firefox lockwise as password manager.
