Yes, support for sessions in Plasma.
Xorg? Wayland? Seems like I lack context to understand that competition.
My distro came wirh Cinnamon, and it died two times on my setup after updates - black screen after login - before I installed Xfce instead and still use it daily. I love that unlike Windows you can just jump ships and unsubscribe from what you dislike. This meme draws that freedom as something bad. It's not healthy to the community...
... but if there would be a DE war, Xpect frequent combat engagements, as the way to your land and ten of your HQs are marked with red Xs on my map.

Screen tearing in Firefox
Edit: to reword, I lack Firefox screen tearing on Wayland but I have it on Xorg.
Nvidia?
I mean that I have screen tearing on Firefox with Xorg, which is why I used to use Chromium, when I switched to Wayland I realised that the tearing had stopped.
Are you sure you are running Firefox with Wayland and not Xwayland? You have to add an environment variable to run it properly, the default it X
I meant that I have screen tearing on Xorg, but I don't have it on Wayland.
Ahh yes, this is probably the main reason I use Wayland, even being not well cooked yet. Screen tearing in games was insufferable using 2 monitors with different refresh rates.
I miss apps supporting global hotkeys. Screen remote support in popular apps.
