Things like, scrensharing, OBS (recently was patched and now it works), discord, spectacle (is a little unstable), screen locking (only one screen or none of them turn off) and some xwayland games/emulators won’t work. All of this in a full amd setup with KDE.

With one Novideo 1660s my KDE panel frozen every 30 minutes.

If you only use linux for development or browsing you should find no problems.

haven’t had discord or screen locking issues and I have plenty of monitors. haven’t run into any game issues either, but I do preemptively run older stuff in gamescope which tends to avoid a lot of issues

This is a great advice, I’m having issues with alt tabbing with dota, I should try gamescope as well.

Weird, I use OBS, lock my screen, and play games all the time and have never had any problems on KDE. Maybe I’m just lucky with my GPU choices? I use an RX 570 on one computer and an RX 6650 XT on the other.
