Well folks, it’s the beginning of a new era: after nearly three decades of KDE desktop environments running on X11, the future KDE Plasma 6.8 release will be Wayland-exclusive! Support for X11 applications will be fully entrusted to Xwayland, and the Plasma X11 session will no longer be included.

    Damn. I guess it’s finally goodbye window shade or goodbye Plasma. I really wish they’d figured out a solution.

    I get it though. The edge cases will never be fixed until devs know what they are, and GNOME proved this is an effective way to find out.

      labwc has it :) I use it with XFCE, integration is pretty rough but will hopefully get there over time. No crashes so far!
