I'm sorry to hear that! I've been having good experiences with Wayland + NVIDIA on both Ubuntu 25.10 and EndeavourOS (whatever version is the latest). There are minor annoyances, but nothing as dire as what you're describing.

I may need to look at other distros a bit, but KDE is non negotiable for me. I hope its not plasma that's the problem.

I've been on Kubuntu with a RTX gpu for the past year. No crashes, no problems. For the April release I swapped to Wayland and it also works fine. I think Wayland has better gui scaling and multi monitor support too.

Maybe kde is the problem? I use Wayland + Nvidia and before xorg. I never liked kde it was always buggy for me so I haven't used it for many years but when I did was it xorg + Nvidia on Manjaro. But since I went with other DEs have I never had any problems.

Same, I use KDE with Wayland as well.
