Stop using Xorg and your scaling problems are gone.

Debian

... is not something you should ever use on a desktop PC. Due to its eternally very outdated nature and not even shipping bugfix updates**** it is not a good fit for anything but servers.

Wayland, for some reason, couldn't handle 4 monitors, with one above the other three.

"Wayland" doesn't handle monitors at all. What (because of Debian, wildly outdated) desktop did you use?

Oh, and the biggest issue I had with Windows was copied straight into Linux. I want my (single) taskbar on a monitor that isn't my primary.

Not a Linux issue, but a problem with the desktop environment you chose. KDE Plasma allows you to configure panels in any way you want.

This myth that ARM is more efficient needs to die already. The ISA has almost no impact on efficiency, and especially no impact on gaming, where the GPU is the much more important thing.

Yes, there's an addon for Firefox that gives you Netflix 1080p without any downsides, probably just by changing the user agent for Netflix.

Really shows how utterly useless the restrictions are.

This is about dragging a tab out of or into a browser window, and letting the compositor know about it, so it can move and place the window accordingly. Apps don't get to place windows themselves.

No, only when you click on an input field and have it enabled in the system tray

The virtual keyboard is hidden by default, unless you're using touch. You can change that by setting the KWIN_IM_SHOW_ALWAYS=1 environment variable, until there's a proper setting for it

The github repo has tons of issues about the problems caused by the hacks (from the cursor not being recorded, to it not working in Flatpak, not working with virtual displays, to even preventing graphical sessions from starting!) with the suggested solution of just using the remote desktop portal... I don't know what the problem is, but it's not a lack of knowledge.

It hasn't operated at a loss anymore for years you mean?

misconfigured

Unless you did something really stupid and deleted system libraries or something like that, no configuration should cause crashes. Please make a bug report about it at bugs.kde.org. You might not be able to fix it yourself, but crashes are often relatively easy to diagnose and fix for a developer.

In the case of one project in paticular, that being the Sunshine game streaming project

That's a terrible example, because they completely ignore the many many years old standardized APIs (screen casting and remote desktop portals) that they could use, in favor of doing hacky and broken things that require root access instead.

Xwayland doesn't get input in some special way, it uses the exact same Wayland protocols to get input events as native Wayland apps. All claims about it being more complete or anything like that are nonsense.

Krita forces Xwayland because they have some X11 specific code they haven't bothered porting away from, that's all.
