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.

Hell, the current Plasma and its compositor are far more stable in Wayland than Gnome. It amazes me that Wayland can actually be usable when using a desktop that is stable.
Gnome is pretty stable for me, unless extensions are involved, because then it's unusably buggy.
The problem is that Gnome vanilla is too vanilla, even compared to MacOS. Extensions are an absolute must for Gnome to be a functional DE. But as you said, once extensions are involved, it becomes buggy.
It is almost impossible to have an usable gnome without extensions, at least for most of us.
I've been maining Wayland ever since the big push for fixes in kwin-wayland (what is that, like 6 or 8 months ago now?)
It's been a little bumpy but no major complaints, and very solid otherwise. I can still play VR games, even!
