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.

      No you won’t.

      They won’t throw more than a decade of work to the garbage because “30%” and Nvidia. Those issues can be fixed. Want them to be fixed? Stop complaining and contribute.

      We’ll make sure Plasma continues to compile and deploy on X11.

      As for when Plasma will drop support for X11? There’s currently no firm timeline for this, and I certainly don’t expect it to happen in the next year, or even the next two years.

        Note, they said “compile” and “deploy”, not “function” or “work”.

        That’s basically “#vibecoding on release” talk.
