I recently upgraded from my W541 to a T470 I got for cheap. And I only upgraded due to hardware decoding features being a tad bit newer on the T470 and USB-C being kinda cool to utilise.

It’s a known issue.

Generally, the KDE team is very aware of some Wayland issues. https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Wayland_Known_Significant_Issues

This is the only part I despise of forum culture like MDL or the likes.

If you have a solution, or even better: if you have written software or a guide for this, please just publish it online.

Because its basis was an FOSS package manager, which in typical Microsoft fashion got EEE’d.

Yes, I understand that GNOME (3+) has a place in Linux/*nix world and that, from a common user’s perspective, it might be enough or even more intuitive than Windows and MacOS ever were. Blind hating never helped anyone, especially in FOSS.

For me, as someone outside the common user’s realm, the weird aftertaste of internal dev drama and their decisions which features are “needed” and which are not needed (server-side decorations, tray-items, etc.) deter me from using GNOME more than the annual one-month tryout (“Maybe it isn’t that limiting to me as I thought?”).

Okay, I’ll bite:

Why GNOME? I personally find it very limiting, especially when attempting a Vanilla GNOME config.
