KDE Plasma 6.8 will be Wayland-only

KDE's Plasma team has announcedthat KDE Plasma will drop X11 session support with Plasma6.8:

The Plasma X11 session will be supported by KDE into early2027.

We cannot provide a specific date, as we're exploring thepossibility of shipping some extra bug-fix releases for Plasma6.7. The exact timing of the last one will only be known when we getcloser to its actual release, which we expect will be sometime inearly 2027.

What if I still really need X11?

This is a perfect use case for long term support (LTS)distributions shipping older versions of Plasma. For example,AlmaLinux 9 includes the Plasma X11 session and will be supporteduntil sometime in 2032.

See the blog post for information on running X11 applications(still supported), accessibility, gaming, and more.
