KDE going all-in on a Wayland future

I love kde and it is what i use but still having the bug from time to time that the panels dissapear and have to relaunch plasmashell, also i wish they merged the virtual desktops and activities into one concept and allowed different wallpapers on each.

The theme settings is also confusing because of gtk apps, global theme etc. Feels everything around theming could be made nicer.

Prob some more nitpicks but overall it is a really great desktop environment.

What I am uncomfortable with is the inability to run Wayland on older video hardware. X11 will happily run with Vesa driver on older hardware which no longer has functional 3D accelerated drivers.

What is the way forward for the retro community to run a modern Wayland system on older hardware?

Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can chime in or correct me

Oh the downplaying

In what way is this copy&paste-like staple of general computing some "specialized" task?

Will the new opportunities include reaching "specialized" feature parity?

Interesting, I always heard that x11 was not getting dropped until Plasma 7. While I am now fully on wayland myself, still not sure how to feel about this, feels a bit soon.
