"Wayland is the Linux graphical protocol for now and the future. At this point, there is no going back (nor is there a reason to, because Wayland is a vast improvement over X11). The migration from X11 to Wayland has been long and (at times) challenging. Fortunately, it looks as though the dust has settled and Wayland has the full support of most desktops and distributions."
"GPU Underlays: Addresses a request for improved Wayland display performance. This also helps if a window has server-side decorations with rounded corners, there are subtitles on top of a window, or there's another window on top of it. Tablet Dials and Rings: Support for configuring touch rings and tablet dials from within Plasma settings. Picture-in-Picture: Support for Wayland's picture-in-picture functionality. Pointer Warping: Additional Wayland support for pointer warping (the automatic and instantaneous movement of the mouse pointer to a new position on the screen)."
KDE Plasma 6.5 beta is available for testing ahead of the full release on October 21. The update prioritizes better performance, improved reliability, and enhanced visuals across the desktop. Wayland enhancements include GPU underlays for improved display performance, support for configuring tablet dials and touch rings, picture-in-picture functionality, pointer warping, and display mirroring. The migration from X11 to Wayland is effectively complete with broad support across desktops and distributions. Numerous small changes combine to refine Plasma's elegance, customization, efficiency, and overall user experience. Many improvements target both desktop and tablet workflows.
