Hasn't been my experience, running KDE Wayland on host with amdgpu. Just had to pass `--extra-flags "env GDK_BACKEND=wayland"` when exporting the app. Zero issues, far from being unusable.

In fact you can even run an entire DE from Distrobox if you wanted to, although I can imagine that being a bit awkward. But a single GUI app? Shouldn't be an issue unless you've got a tricky/niche setup.

This is again the argument of the power user arguing that everyone should just become the expert in the power users domain.

As long as the Kernel ist compatible, sure, technically.

This is not what I would consider "supported". This is not something a company wants to deal with on every single Linux client.
