That does seem to be the way kubuntu is set up... but only if SDM is used.
If you happen to be using lightdm, which seems to be default for xubuntu,
and ubuntustudio (and maybe others) the "(wayland)" doesn't show up... So
there are two Plasma entries exactly the same... the first is the wayland
entry which freezes the system. I switched to sdm... problem solved.
However, the real answer is still that the audio community is not ready
for wayland anyway.... and it seems wayland is not ready, in at least many
cases, to even log in.
