Going all-in on a Wayland future

Well folks, it’s the beginning of a new era: after nearly three decades of KDE desktop environments running on X11, the future KDE Plasma 6.8 release will be Wayland-exclusive! Support for X11 applications will be fully entrusted to Xwayland, and the Plasma X11 session will no longer be included.

    Yeah, you are right. Just a massive pain to deal with as things continue to diverge and I’m forced to deal with maintaining more and more custom solutions just to maintain functionality.

    I want wayland to get there, just not seeing it yet.

      You can always switch to Slackware Linux.
      The current release doesn’t even include a Wayland session yet (nor systemd).
      And judging by the project’s history, the next major release is likely going to drop in 10+ years.

        Not sure what you mean, the current Slackware release is 15.0 and it does include a Wayland session for KDE.
        Source: I’m using it.
