Can anyone with experience chime in if removing support in 6.8 makes sense compared to 7.0? The only thing I'm coming up with is that you don't have to worry about all the other breaking changes associated with a major release but it seems to go against semver doing this before a major release..

I really want to run wayland but there are still some missing bits required for my workflow. Of particular importance to me, the ability to connect to RustDesk auto-launched on a headless server, and clipboard sharing in DeskFlow. My understanding is that these are still broken only because the devs are still waiting for wayland back-end additions to be implemented.

I'm all for wayland, but they need to catch up first.

I also switched to Wayland when the news came X11 would go away. It just sucks they aren't fixing all the input issues on Wayland, especially since I'm using touchpad most of the time.

95% on Wayland is a bit hard to believe, 100% of KDE users I know both use X11.

Hah, every time I try to switch to Wayland on my Debian 13 desktop I end up going back to X11. Wayland ultimately feels slower and more sluggish compared to X11 almost like a regression that occurs over time, applications that work on X11 may not work on Wayland and in my situation open but display a blank screen and, recently learned MangoHud that ships with Debian 13 has issues capturing the GPU usage while running games.

Wayland is a mess for me with Plasma 6 (Fedora) but i'm not going back to X11. Quite a few features i use(d) have been broken along the way.

On the upside high DPI support is getting better and better

so if everyone in the world used kde, "only" the usa would be on x11.

meanwhile i still get random blackouts, frame rate desyncs, and sleep mode crashes when running wayland.
