Going all-in on a Wayland future

Well folks, it’s the beginning of a new era: after nearly three decades of KDE desktop environments running on X11, the future KDE Plasma 6.8 release will be Wayland-exclusive! Support for X11 applications will be fully entrusted to Xwayland, and the Plasma X11 session will no longer be included.

    I use Talon voice. It’s software that let’s me use the pc still, due to write severe RSI.

    However, Wayland doesn’t allow a lot of functionality that tools like this need.

    Therefore, anyone who requires a tool similar to Talon, needs X11.

    KDE is out.

      Wayland compositors lack the APIs necessary for Talon and Wayland support is not planned.

      Sucks that they just claim that and give up instead of trying to work together with Wayland compositors to make this happen.

      I don’t understand why they would drop you like this.
