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.
X11 is already dead IMO, if you didn’t move yet (still on i3wmfor example), it’s time to upgrade.
I’m proudly retro computing then. X serves me well.

Some things just don’t work properly on Wayland. For example, #NoMachine remote #Plasma desktop sessions connect, show a white screen, then disconnect. Switching to an X11 session solves the problem. This is a showstopper, so I’m sticking with X.Org.

If things work for the user then I don’t see the need to upgrade just for the sake of upgrading. Future is with Wayland for sure but if things are okay for them right now, not that much reason to switch

What is that problem? I’m not knowledgeable about those protocols.

I think they wanted to know about the original problem solved by X11

I wish I could be excited for this, but there are still many things missing or buggy in Wayland.
I assumed this stage had already happened.
