What's your display driver, btw? If the session manager doesn't even give the wayland option it might be nvidia — which *still* needs tinkering to work on wayland, even on GNOME. (Sway launches with funny warnings [things to the tune of 'You're using nvidia do you REALLY want to do this? You probably shouldn't']; but crashes soon after. Wayfire [really interesting window manager] doesn't launch at all.)
Also take a look at this: https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Wayland_Showstoppers
KDE has been making good progress on wayland, but it really isn't there yet for daily use.
This fellow from the Fedora KDE team gives a clear overview of the state of affairs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwQkZAH_G1M
-- KDE needs a bit more work; and IIRC Qt also needs a patch.
