Well folks, it’s the beginning of a new era: after nearly three decades of KDE desktop environments running on X11, the future KDE Plasma 6.8 release will be Wayland-exclusive! Support for X11 applications will be fully entrusted to Xwayland, and the Plasma X11 session will no longer be included.

X11 is already dead IMO, if you didn't move yet (still on i3wmfor example), it's time to upgrade.

I'm proudly retro computing then. X serves me well.
