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.

Definitely. The only problem is when things start being breaking for X11, it will a forced less pleasant upgrade.

Just like everyone can use Win XP, but none of latest software like browsers support XP. So do it at own paste now or be forced to upgrade later.

@idriss @Saapas It's still an upgrade we've known for over two decades that we needed. The X protocol is inherently insecure by design - showing its age. If Wayland manages to nudge us a little closer to the reality of today, that's a good thing - even if it comes bundled with some diaper rash.
