They are all planning to move to Wayland, even the OS’s. Gnome first, KDE is still untangling X11 from Kwin, but expected to drop it with KDE7. It is time.
KDE 7 is already on the horizon? 6 os still pre-release, isn’t it?
Plasma 6 was released in Feb 2024, 6.4 is about due. I suspect 7 won’t happen until Plasma and applications need to be ported to Qt 7.
My Manjaro desktop already migrated.
I decided to install Plasma next to XFCE to see if I liked it. Then I thought I might as well try Wayland too.
Turns out the combo works great, even with games and Steam, so I’m quite happy with it.
A year ago when I was looking at linux for gaming what I kept hearing is that Wayland wasn’t ready. I’ve been running Nobara 42 with KDE Plasma 6 on Wayland for about a month now and it’s been great, now I hear Gnome is dropping X11 support, etc. What changed?
