What? I use Krita on GNOME on Wayland all the time.

A proposal to switch Fedora Workstation's desktop

Ah, I made it sound like there was an issue with it not starting at all. That's not the case.

The issue is with GNOME's multi-monitor handling. I have a 4K display scaled to 200%, and then a graphics tablet (with a screen) that I also want scaled to 200%, but if I do that, I can't fullscreen Krita anymore. I also can't shrink it down to the degree that the entire window fits on my graphics tablet. If I remember correctly, it either wasn't possible for me to chose 100% for the graphics tablet (I had to choose 100% for both monitors), or it was and the Krita window *would* fit, but all of the tools were tiny so it was unusable.

This was about half a year ago.

Anyway, it's also broken on Plasma's X session in the same way, but Plasma's Wayland session was the only thing that worked for me. The multi-monitor handling is great in that respect. I tried three different distributions with GNOME & KDE, FWIW.

On the other hand, Plasma's multi-monitor handling is an absolute pain in terms of handling workspaces, which at least GNOME gets right.

It sounds like Krita is using Qt's X backend in GNOME, try running it with the environment variable QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland .
