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.

I'm using Plasma Wayland as well. Games do do that where they minimize on focus loss but I'm pretty sure they did that on X11 as well (especially since they mostly are using Xwayland) and I haven't had any connection problems in multiplayer games when tabbed out. I'd have to see if your problem happens for me with virtual desktops, I rarely use them. And the music thing doesn't happen at all, the screen locks and turns off and music/the youtube video/whatever keeps playing as normal.
What distro are you using? I'd chalk these problems up to a distro bug...
Huh, I didn't realize others weren't having these impacts, because Xorg doesn't have these issues for me, it's just as soon as I move over to Wayland. I'm on the infamous Manjaro, though I had the same issues on EndeavourOS
