Does this deserve another look?</p>
<p>My personal opinion is that it's not wise to under-invest in the X11 code while Wayland is still very much a work in progress. I get that it's frustrating to work on code that you know is going to be obsolete, but the time before that happens may be longer than we all think: we've been promising Wayland for years and it's still not at feature parity with X11, and on top of that there are many showstopping user-visible Wayland-specific bugs. I know for me personally it's unusable due to <a href="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=387156" class="remarkup-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=387156</a> and <a href="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=387721" class="remarkup-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=387721</a> and <a href="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=384637" class="remarkup-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=384637</a> and <a href="https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-51640" class="remarkup-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-51640</a> and <a href="https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Wayland_Showstoppers#No_remote_support" class="remarkup-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Wayland_Showstoppers#No_remote_support</a>. I would love to use our Wayland session, but because of those issues, I just can't. I suspect a lot of users are in the same boat--many of them because of the NVIDIA situation. Realistically, most will not be running on Wayland until a distro makes it the default (like Fedora did with GNOME), which won't happen until there's feature parity with X11. In all likelihood, Wayland is not going to be a practical choice for a great many of our users for years. So it's not like X11-specific code is just totally worthless. That code is what most of our users rely on every day and would like to see improved.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R104 KScreen</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D12405">https://phabricator.kde.org/D12405</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>fvogt, Plasma<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>gladhorn, mart, hein, ngraham, graesslin, davidedmundson, plasma-devel, ragreen, Pitel, ZrenBot, lesliezhai, ali-mohamed, jensreuterberg, abetts, sebas, apol<br /></div>
