From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Try Manjaro Sway. Wayland can't get any better than with Sway. Of you prefer to not read the docs and confog by yourself, then go with KDE. Literally zero reasons to use xorg anymore. I've used Sway 2-3 months after dwm and regret a lot I didn't switch earlier to Wayland.
Wayland has a ton of issues on Plasma including but not limited to (Not including NVIDIA Issues) (Note that many of these will be fixed in Plasma 6):
I used to use Global Menu stil 2 years and it was a mess. For me, Wayland is a gift from gods. The screen tearing went away and it feels more snappier. When I rarely need an external monitor, gone is the need of xrandr-plumbing to make different resolutions to work.
