[re-titling subject line to make it a new thread]
The larger context here is that after decades of service, the world is
moving on from X11.
It's a trend bigger than KDE, but we're a part of it too: almost no
Plasma developers are still regularly using or developing the X11
session. Upstream X11 development also largely ended years ago, except
for development of the XWayland compatibility layer. Most distros are
moving on, too, either having already switched to Plasma Wayland by
default, or were already making active plans to do so.
However, I can appreciate the stress of losing something that from your
perspective is working fine — especially if the successor isn't working
as well for your use cases.
So now is the time to articulate what's still painful about Wayland for
you *that's not already mentioned on
https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Wayland_Known_Significant_Issues*,
because we have a year or so to address those concerns. And addressing
as many of them as possible is the goal!
So it's a "help us help you" situation. Please do let us know what's not
working well for you, and remember to do it in a way that maximizes the
chances of your concern being taken seriously: be polite and
constructive, remember your manners, offer to help develop or test
fixes, etc. There are even crowdfunding[1] and commercial[2]
opportunities if things aren't moving as fast as you'd prefer.
Thanks, folks!
Nate
