KDE's Announcement About 'Dumping X' is Very IBM-Like, Citing Some Distant Future Year With No Guarantees It'll Actually Happen
We also saw that in GNOME many times (they say they go "all Wayland"... then they backtrack because Wayland isn't really ready)
That was just two months ago.
NVIDIA openly admits there are show-stopping issues in Wayland. To many people, Wayland isn't a possibility at all. For purely practical reasons, not ideological, it's nothing to do with "hate" or being "greybeard".
Just like IBM announcing "quantum" something "by 2029" or "by 2030" (it has said both this month!), KDE says that Plasma will be Wayland-only in a couple of years. They say KDE Plasma 6.8 is the turning point, without any hard commitment to that. They also say that AlmaLinux 9 has KDE and it'll have X support until 2032 (at least). That's 7 more years!
Just because the Plasma developers say Wayland will be awesome or ready or whatever doesn't mean it will happen; in the name of user retention it's possible it won't happen, ever. Meanwhile, IBM (main pusher of Wayland) is rapidly crumbling and people already develop and use successors of X. EasyOS ignores the political noise; X will still be an option. There are still new releases of X, even from IBM.
IBM, the originator of FUD, is basically spreading FUD. █
