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?
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.
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.
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.
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).
