From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

A big aspect is fractional scaling needs. I have tried the current kde 5 wayland version everytime a new minor release is done and it's very bad with inconsistencies in many places and weird font rendering and stuff like that. I'm very eager waiting for kde 6 where many of the bugs are supposedly fixed.
I've got a 3.5k 13" display and have only noticed scaling issues with xwayland apps (which Plasma warns you of) - but I'm not disputing your point, there are clearly rough edges some folks see that others don't.
