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.

@idriss
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.

Fair

but this is more of the NoMachine not doing the upgrade than Wayland having issues. I guess the closes thing in Wayland is now https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jammy/man1/waypipe.1.html over ssh or simply go nuclear with full screen sharing / control with RustDesk.
