Wayland or Xorg?

Wayland should be standard since 24.10.

Edit: It is also in Kubuntu 25.04.

It wasn't in Kubuntu, if it was it still defaulted to X11.. Finally they made the right choice.. But it's only 9 months before EOL :/

The Plasma wayland session is now the default option in sddm (display manager login screen). An X11 session can be selected instead if desired. The last used session type will be remembered, so you do not have to switch type on each login.

The same holds for 25.04.
