As much as I want to support the idea of a well supported, modernised graphical protocol system, wayland simply isn’t ready yet. There’s so much shit that simply doesn’t work, and they’re all made up of little niche cases that will take substantially longer than a few months to resolve, and I still haven’t seen anything that suggests Wayland has a practical equivalent to xorg.conf.

Is Alma Linux rolling their own version of Plasma with x11? Or are they just sticking with an older version of Plasma? Is anyone else planning on hacking x11 back into the DE?

    I think realistically the best option is to stick with an older version of KDE until your issues get fixed upstream or switch to another DE.

    Anyone technically literate enough to port KDE back to X11 is likely also literate enough to fix the blocking bugs.

    … Unless they’re doing it purely on ideological grounds, which is probably not a healthy way to run a project.

      Well… Unless those blocking bugs relate to getting new Wayland protocols approved.

        you don’t need approval to make a protocol, make an implementation and just use it yourself
