Just installed KDE Plasma on my Ubuntu system to replace GNOME and Wayland. Mainly to get rid of an issue where my games would lose mouse lock, but now I can have two different wallpapers on both monitors and have a clock on my second monitor which is AWESOME.

I WISH I INSTALLED IT SOONER, I LOVE IT.

But X support is through Wayland, at just that was my impression. I mean it's not using X11 directly, or is it?

It is, up untill Plasma 6.8 (estimated release early 2027) Plasma can do both direct to X11, or direct wayland with xwayland support for legacy apps.
