X11 is in the news again, so I thought it would make sense to be clear about the Plasma team’s plans for X11 support going forward.
Thank you for keeping X11 working and, in the same time, develop Wayland to be, at least, on the same level of X11.
I hope that you’ll catch the X11 features as soon as possible, for you and us.
Have a good developing time and thank you very much again.
This would be good news, except… Wayland will not be an appropriate replacement for me until it provides multi-user thin-client working on the same desktop. As I understand that’s not its purpose, KDE will need to support something that provides that functionality even if it isn’t X11. Not everyone wants to use the computer for gaming. Some of us want other things on our own machines (not in “the cloud”, which just means someone else’s machine), but still want the thin-client advantage of not having to worry about syncing files and that sort of complication.
In short, we want KDE’s strapline - “A world in which everyone has control over their digital life and enjoys freedom and privacy.”
I totally agree, I still use Kylix, on my distributed (customers) system and since Borland is NOT ever going to change systems, I also built my systems to use KDE and VNC. I am looking at and started work on re-writing my Kylix applications, but with 4x + programs, not a small job. Having had NO problems with X11, Wayland has been NOTHING but a pain for me, still working, but I don’t look forward to the day I need to stop upgrading Fedora/Linux and stay with the last working distribution.
