  • I had to install X11-session for KDE, after switching to that it works fine again.

    Unfortunately, KDE is planning to remove X11 session entirely around 2027, so if the problem still persists then it might be wise to find another distro or stick with old KDE versions.

    Personally, I have XFCE installed alongside KDE for running programs that are buggy on Wayland (which was few and far in-between). Otherwise, my hardware supports Wayland well (as it only has Intel integrated graphics anyways).


  • Emphasis mine. Wow, only 2 GiB…

    That’s not as low as you’d think, to be fair. I’ve tried to run Kubuntu on a 10 year old laptop with 2 GiB RAM and it worked, if only a little laggy. That being said, it crashes after half an hour without swap. But with swap, it is legitimately daily drivable (as long as you don’t run heavy apps, of course).

    I’d imagine a distro that’s designed to be even more lightweight would be able to handle that.
