Graham: about Plasma’s X11 session
lundi 23 juin 2025, 20:35 , par LWN.net
KDE contributor Nate Graham recently wrote
about the KDE Project's plans for Plasma's X11 session. He notes that the project will continue to ensure that Plasma 'continues to compile and deploy on X11' and isn't horribly broken. Major regressions will probably be fixed, eventually, but the writing is on the wall: X11's upstream development has dropped off significantly in recent years, and X11 isn't able to perform up to the standards of what people expect today with respect to HDR, 10 bits-per-color monitors, other fancy monitor features, multi-monitor setups (especially with mixed DPIs or refresh rates), multi-GPU setups, screen tearing, security, crash robustness, input handling, and more. As for when Plasma will drop support for X11? There's currently no firm timeline for this, and I certainly don't expect it to happen in the next year, or even the next two years. But that's just a guess; it depends on how quickly we implement everything on https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Wayland_Known_Significant_Issues. Our plan is to handle everything on that page such that even the most hardcore X11 user doesn't notice anything missing when they move to Wayland.
