Preparing for KDE Plasma's Last X11-Supported Release | Hacker News

KDE Plasma is moving toward a Wayland-first future, with its next release expected to be the last with X11 support.

Developers and many users report smoother day-to-day performance on Wayland, with improving KWin and desktop behavior.

Some users still warn about regressions, crashes, and accessibility gaps as the transition accelerates.

The change could affect Linux desktop compatibility for people who still rely on X11, including distributions such as Debian 13.
