95% of Plasma 6.6 users use Wayland!

    This is why I wish KDE still did LTS releases. Even though I use Wayland on my systems, I know it doesn’t have feature parity with X11, and that some users may still need X11 for different reasons. If 95% of users are using Wayland, that means there’s 5% that aren’t, and 5% is not an insignificant number. I know there’s other DEs that people can use if they need X11, but that’s missing the point.

    I really don’t like this whole “march of progress, legacy can go to hell” mentality.

        I’m aware, but doesn’t the lack of an LTS for KDE make things difficult for Debian’s maintainers?

        EDIT: Wrote “thing” instead of “things” at first.

      Agree, my hope is that wayland devs pick up the pace on the parity issue with an expanding user base.
