    Most, likely 95+% of users will never even realise. Hell, they didn’t realise when we switched them over to Wayland by default in Plasma 6. Even less so now with NVIDIA at last getting their act together, and devs having spent many human-hours in figuring out support for graphic tablets and so on. And even less a year from now when we have full feature-parity with X11.

    You may be underestimating the competency and speed of KDE devs. These people are the effing top.

    Will there be people who still need X11 a year+ from now? Maybe, it will be for really niche reasons though: very specific hardware (most most common tablets and drawing pads are already supported) or really old legacy software their company requires them to use.

    Either way, there will be compatibility layers, distros and maybe even forks of Plasma with X11 support, so this is all a non-issue.

    Most KDE projects are acts of (dare I say it) love 💘 . People start projects, contribute to them, and maintain them, because they love them. The original spark may be need, an itch that needs scratching, but what keeps a project going is the thought that “wouldn’t it be fun if…”.

    So that’s your first reason.

    The second reason is that the status quo doesn’t stay the same forever. You are right: support for Linux on streaming for Linux users sucks and is often deliberately fked. But the status quo of, say games on Linux… oh, what? Five years ago? Also sucked and was deliberately fked, and look now.

    KDE is not a company. It’s contributors do not have to adhere to schedules or the current status quo. They can wait and improve as they wait. Very often the work they put into pays off in the future for the benefit of everybody.

    And that is reason number 2.
