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.

I agree, but I have concerns about accessibility.

KDE 7 is already on the horizon? 6 os still pre-release, isn’t it?
I have telemetry turned on and recently switched to Wayland. They’re looking at the data and decided me switching was the final straw.

That is honestly surprising, I thought we were cautious about it at !solus@piefied.social . We already defaulted to Wayland on Plasma and Gnome for about a year (IIRC).

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.

Who keeps going out of their way to make these suggestions?
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?
Wayland had/has a couple of missing features. Personally, it’s nothing I use so I’ve been on Wayland for years now, but if you care about those missing features, then they won’t work.
Honestly I don’t even remember what they were anymore. I think screen capture was a big one though.
Screen capture in what way? Cause spectacle works fine for screenshots, I can stream video on discord, etc, so I’ve not run into a screen capture related issue.

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.
I’m partly to blame for this.
