Wish I could use it, I really tried! I have some HDR screens I want to actually run HDR on. But KDE Plasma + Wayland keep crashing out on me.

Nixos unstable atm fwiw, which you'd expect would pick up fixes early. But my particular setup with displayport DPMS stuff keeps going wrong, and there's a bunch of WONTFIX under KDE afaict.

Ehhh I know people love that and swear by it, and maybe it's fine, but I wouldn't expect it to have great integration and a solid, reliable, desktop experience on nixos.

KDE/X11 is rock solid, at least
