Preparing for KDE Plasma’s Last X11-Supported Release

I do hope people keep reporting any kind of pain points, especially accessibility related, like the one thread we had. Respectfully, of course. People tend to forget a lot of us are just volunteers and end up screaming at some of the devs, which helps nobody and can make some of the volunteers go "not worth it" and leave, and then nothing gets done. (Also I do not know really anything about Wayland/X11, I do not work on this area.)

Personal takes:

So far in my daily use over ~4 years, any issues I've had are gradually disappearing. Now I do not even have to think about X11/Wayland. Last time I tried X11 for development purposes, few months ago, I had so many weird issues, like windows flashing and going wherever they wanted, weird screen flickering because compositing was turned off and on. When I tried Linux Mint ~5 years ago, I could not run games really well due to not knowing X11 compositing is powerhungry as all hell, and kills the framerate completely in games. And Mint did not turn that off automatically. In Wayland it just works.

Our internal metrics within KDE show that over 95% of users of Plasma 6.6 are on Wayland, with a gradual increase every release

The self-fulfilling prophecy!

I tried something and Wayland didn't work, then I tried X and Plasma wouldn't work, so now I use xfce on X11 for that machine.

So I guess I'm not here to argue, but maybe it has worked for those 5% of users and it was not worth the effort for X of those 95%.
