KDE Plasma 6.8 Will Go Wayland-Exclusive in Dropping X11 Session Support

Source: Hacker News

Article note: I've been daily driving KDE-On-Wayland for a while now because the net broken shit that bothers me is the lowest. I still think we'll essentially be paying forever for the Wayland folks' reactionary failure to standardize and/or expose some critical interfaces, but the amount of effort being burnt to work around that is largely covering the problem as long as you stay in one major compisitor's ecosystem. I also wonder if this means they have a concrete plan for the greeter situation, SDDM-on-Wayland is still "experimental" at best, and that plasma-greeter fork doesn't seem quite ready either.
