Hello there! I was using Wayland for quite a while and things are more or less smooth (NVIDIA proprietary driver). I think it’s time for Manjaro to move to Wayland by default for both Plasma session and SDDM. Here’s small FAQ regarding the change: Q: How can I check if I’m using Wayland? A: Check About this System in System Settings. Q: How could I try Wayland? A: Log out from your session and select a Plasma (Wayland) desktop session for the next log in. Q: What hardware is supported? ...
They are all planning to move to Wayland, even the OS’s. Gnome first, KDE is still untangling X11 from Kwin, but expected to drop it with KDE7. It is time.
I’m partly to blame for this.
I have telemetry turned on and recently switched to Wayland. They’re looking at the data and decided me switching was the final straw.
I agree, but I have concerns about accessibility.
KDE 7 is already on the horizon? 6 os still pre-release, isn’t it?
Plasma 6 was released in Feb 2024, 6.4 is about due. I suspect 7 won’t happen until Plasma and applications need to be ported to Qt 7.
