Prominent KDE developer Nate Graham put out a blog post today reaffirming the KDE Plasma’s intent that Wayland is their main focus and X11 support continues to be maintained but eventually it will go away. Nate Graham also noted around 73% of KDE Plasma 6 users are already using the Wayland session.

    Remaining 30% probably people like me whose nvidia driver multi monitor issues make wayland unusable.

    Yes, some multi monitor configurations work, yes, yours might work just fine, but there’s plenty of recent posts on kde.org forums showing the issue is far from isolated.

      Multi monitor has issues in KDE itself as well, I’m on AMD and there are a few really annoying (and confirmed) bugs when it comes to multi monitor setups. Some bugs go waaaaay back.

      Sadly nothing is being done about it.

      I love this comment. I love it because even though I don’t know what wayland is, I gather by context it’s popular, and has something to do with output of your display.

      And it’s popular, but it doesn’t work FOR YOU.

      And you have to point out that just because something works for others, doesn’t mean it works for everybody.

      I’m pretty unskilled when it comes to linux, but I’ve noticed linux users fall into one of two groups.

      First, the group who genuinely want to help you. They may not KNOW the exact answer, because they don’t know your exact hardware, but they try to help with common problems.

      The other group takes it as a personal insult if you’re having problems in linux that you don’t know how to solve. Like linux is part of their personality, and they think linux is perfect without the ability to have problems. Therefore the guy asking for help is just trying to insult linux, and therefore themselves. They then respond with hostility and personal insults about how it’s your problem.

      Yeah. It IS my problem. Can ya figure out what I’m doing wrong?

      But they don’t see it that way. In their eyes, linux is perfect, and you’re an asshole for saying you have an issue.

      So what I’m saying is, I love how you already know you need to state upfront you KNOW it works for others, but not for you.

        Also known as Arch users.

          I’m sure this is a witty remark, but I’m just out of the loop here. I know Arch is a distro, but I don’t know the culture enough to “get” the joke.

        There are two groups of Linux Users.

        Those who have a nice seamless experience, and those who have Nvidia GPUs

          Oh don’t worry it’s not limited to Nvidia GPUs.

          Last I even bothered trying Wayland, it still could not even start up a functional full desktop session on an Intel mobile iGPU.
