Just installed KDE Plasma on my Ubuntu system to replace GNOME and Wayland. Mainly to get rid of an issue where my games would lose mouse lock, but now I can have two different wallpapers on both monitors and have a clock on my second monitor which is AWESOME.
I WISH I INSTALLED IT SOONER, I LOVE IT.
Plasma uses Wayland, doesn’t it?
Existing versions support both X11 and Wayland. Future versions will only support Wayland.

But X support is through Wayland, at just that was my impression. I mean it’s not using X11 directly, or is it?
oh shit, it does hahah. I guess it’s not a wayland issue then. :s
It (Wayland) is the default session, but supports both for now. OP mentioned they chose the X11 session because games lose mouse lock, which is why GNOME wasn’t an option since it doesnt support X11.
It supports both, but X is going through Wayland, not a direct support. At least that’s how I understand it.

KDE is following GNOME in dropping x11 support in early 2027. The only solution if you want to still use x11 going forward is to get a LTS like ubuntu and bunker up for the next 10 years.
