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.

    From what I read, it was originally higher (82%), but went down because SteamOS has X11 as its default.

    You can read more about KDE X11 plan on here: https://pointieststick.com/2025/06/21/about-plasmas-x11-session/

    Quoted from the blog: "Current status: Plasma’s X11 session continues to be maintained.

    Specifically, that means:

    • We’ll make sure Plasma continues to compile and deploy on X11.
    • Bug reports about the Plasma X11 session being horribly broken (for example, you can’t log in) will be fixed.
    • Very bad X11-specific regressions will probably be fixed eventually.
    • Less-bad X11-specific bugs will probably not be fixed unless someone pays for it.
    • X11-specific features will definitely not be implemented unless someone pays for it. "
