        Not reliably though. I installed Kubuntu on a recent desktop just last week and had to revert it from Wayland back to X11 because every time it woke from sleep Plasmashell would crash and VSCode windows would be blank.

        Also it’s 4% (of desktop, 1.5% overall) according to statcounter. Which is admittedly not bad, but I wouldn’t say it’s enough to say it has “happened”.

          I mean every distro has a different experience.

          There are sources that show it’s higher than Statcounter’s estimate and many in the community consider that website to be inaccurate as there’s a lot of pcs under the unknown category since Linux folks tend to be more privacy focused. It’s big enough that developers are now factoring Linux support for projects.
