It was only a matter of time but it's nearly upon us - KDE Plasma with version 6.8 will be entirely dropping the X11 session to go full Wayland.

    Not OP but I’ve got exactly one thing that doesn’t work on Wayland that works on X11. For whatever reason, Streaming Oblivion Remastered from Steam on my Linux desktop to my TV will not show video in Wayland, but does in X11. It’s literally the only reason I’ve got X11

      I mean… you could just not play oblivion?

      No judgment but that game is old af and I don’t recall it being all that great

        The remaster just came out this year, and Oblivion is loved by a lot of people. I replay it every couple years. Regardless, old games are very much still worth experiencing.

          Cool. Like. Taste is subjective. I have no issue in principal for people liking and playing the game.

          It seems like an odd hill to die on though. Basing the choice of your OS around that one game seems extreme.

          I’m not judging. Like. Anyone that isn’t using Hannah Montana Linux is pretty much human garbage anyway, so to each their own.

            I don’t base the choice of my OS on being able to play one game. KDE is a DE, not an OS. X11 is a window manager protocol, not an OS. Almost always, I will use a Wayland (another window manager protocol) session, but to play Oblivion streamed to my TV, I have to switch to an X11 session. The guy asked for any features that aren’t compatible with Wayland. I have one that I keep X11 around for, so I gave it. Given that you don’t even seem to understand what you are arguing, I’m confused why you piped in with probably the stupidest “solution” to my use case.
