Yep you read that right, we’ve decided to throw the lever and go Wayland by default! The three remaining showstoppers are in the process of being fixed and we expect them to be done soon–certainly before the final release of Plasma 6. So we wanted to make the change early to gather as much feedback as possible.
Just some interesting news I came across. I currently don't use Linux on the desktop except for my old surface go tablet where currently Gnome in combination with Wayland works slightly better for touch related things. Which is a shame as over the years I have grown to like KDE quite a lot, I like the UI/UX choices they make much more and generally pick it as my window manager.
I mostly use Linux in docker these days, so haven't been paying much attention to the graphics. Lately I've come across several comments from folks about either turning off Wayland or switching to...
I mostly use Linux in docker these days, so haven't been paying much attention to the graphics. Lately I've come across several comments from folks about either turning off Wayland or switching to kde because something didn't work well with Wayland. Is this something that's been improving?
Probably, maybe? The second blog post I linked actually goes into this I feel: https://pointieststick.com/2023/09/17/so-lets-talk-about-this-wayland-thing/

I know for myself, about 2 years ago KDE/Wayland was nearly unusable for me.
But for the last 9 months, it's been fantastic. Virtually no problem that wasn't resolved quickly or was quite clearly outsize the ability of KDE to fix (see Zoom).

The article I linked is a general news article from one of the main developers blog. They wrote a much more in dept article about KDE and Wayland back in September that is worth a read: https://pointieststick.com/2023/09/17/so-lets-talk-about-this-wayland-thing/
I've been using Wayland with KDE for 2 years and it's been amazingly stable for me. Grabbed I have an AMD GPU.

I somehow managed to read the announcement and completely miss this link. Thank you! It does a great job of explaining pretty much everything.
