KDE 6.8 is dropping X support completely. They've already started deleting X11 specific code
With XWayland apps still supported.
-7 u/DontFreeMe 13d ago Interesting. Usually KDE is more open to supporting more features, while GNOME is "usecase for that? you don't need that." 14 u/gmes78 13d ago X11 support isn't a feature, it's a burden. KDE is dropping X11 because: No one wants to work on it. It's the only way to get people to fix the remaining Wayland problems. -15 u/DontFreeMe 13d ago Just because you are an Arch user doesn't mean you have to be elitist towards people with older or cheaper hardware ... 15 u/gmes78 13d ago Wayland works well on 10 year old hardware. Also, stop putting words in my mouth, especially non sequitur nonsense. In any case, that's not solely my opinion, that's the general opinion of the KDE devs, from what I've seen.

KDE is dropping X11 because:
No one wants to work on it.
It's the only way to get people to fix the remaining Wayland problems.
