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.

    Bit chicken and egg though, isn’t it? Maybe a big desktop environment enforcing Wayland will get people working more on the fixes for the stuff that doesn’t work out yet.

    I understand people being annoyed if they are in the 30% though, and not trying to dismiss that.

      Not really or at least not enough.
