I’ve been afraid to switch from GNOME to KDE because of what I’ve heard about instability on Wayland as well as Qt being more unstable than GTK. Are these concerns overstated? Should I bite the bullet and switch? I’m on Debian but considering switching to Fedora.

Author here: using KDE6 with Wayland. Didn't note any instability, and it was the only desktop environment that I saw to handle HiDPI for X11 applications (except for Hyrpland, but this was clearly using a hack).

There's no need to commit to either, you can install both alongside each other and pick one each time you log in.

KDE is more stable than GNOME, because gnome-shell kills all apps when it dies due to GPU driver bugs or whatever. Qt/KDE has some more crash resilience going on. Not as good as Arcan, but I've never had my session go away since recent KDE6 versions.
