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.

    The point is, nobody gives a shit about Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, etc. anymore and your argument is stupid.

    Every Unix or Unix-like OS that matters in 2025 is either switching from X11 to Wayland or never used X11 to begin with.

      “Nobody”. I see. Please try to leave your bubble every now and then. There are quite a few people (including me) who still need those systems, and it is rather disappointing to see that they are left behind without a good reason.

        It’s proprietary shit. If it’s being left behind, blame the megacorp that makes it, not Linux devs.

          Solaris (“illumos”) is not proprietary anymore. Actually, it is the only free SysV UNIX in the world.
