Wayland. It comes up a lot: “Bug X fixed in the Plasma Wayland session.” “The Plasma Wayland session has now gained support for feature Y.” And it’s in the news quite a bit lately with the announcement that Fedora KDE is proposing to drop the Plasma X11 session for version 40 and only ship the Plasma Wayland session. I’ve read a lot of nervousness and fear about it lately. So today, let’s talk about it!

@DavidGA @n1729

Did you read the same blog post as me? Because that is not what that post is saying at all.

Yep we did read the same post.

Guys seem to miss that dropping X11 from Fedora KDE 40 is still under proposal.

So I guess this means KDE will stop working on Nvidia GPUs with the Nvidia drivers.

@DavidGA if you read the blog, then this proposal is for Fedora 40 [KDE spin only].

@n1729

Fedora != KDE
Fedora KDE Spin != KDE

There is no proposal in KDE for abandoning X11.

Yeah, I'm aware of that.
