Thanks for the information! I do listen and learn 
So I finally managed to get an updated fairly stable environment, and even got the latest version of Zig installed (something my not-so-old macos device cant do!).
So back to my App development
Since I prefer Zig to C++, I decided to have a look at building a wayland application to get a feel for things. I started with a 'C' example I found online, however it seg.faults having failed to received a wayland 'wl_shell' message. (I am new to linux so I hope I am getting the terminology correct). So firstly is plasma wayland based? The 'registry' is pumping out lots of other messages / interfaces but not that one.
Anyone have experience with wayland on plasma that can point me in the right direction please?
btw I found a different example that uses wayland and LWGL by lupyuen that looks very interesting, but that is ubuntu based and fails to compile due to Xwindows dependency (I think!).
cheers Peter
