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.

      Screen sharing is a great example. I used to have issues with it, but since about a year I’m able to share my screen in the MS teams PWA in Firefox and even the Discord flatpak without a hassle.

        Yeah. In the first months, there were clipboard issues. Until 2 years or so ago for me, screen sharing wasn’t perfect.

        I searched for or filed issues whenever I could, and there’s not a trace of a problem left.

        I wonder if these people just complain on social media and give up immediately without informing anyone relevant and then feign surprise when shit’s not magically fixed later.
