i really do like kde, it just works and doesnt’t get in my way!
and there’s the fact that every update actually seems to improve the user experience is something quite astonishing in the current climate
im still reluctant about wayland but the work the kde team have put in to make it just work (x11 dpi, fractional scaling, actually supporting extensions) is just lovely
I don't have many issues with wayland itself, the problem is that I frequently use software that doesn't support wayland or has buggy wayland support. In some instances, I can file bugs with the maintainers of that software, but sometimes (especially with older games) you are just stuck with something that wasn't designed for wayland and there's not much to do about it. Xwayland helps sometimes, but it can only do so much.
To be clear, I don't want or expect KDE to have full first-class X11 support forever. But right now, I can launch an X11 KDE session that's pretty janky and doesn't support things like HiDPI properly and etc if I need to get something running. If they remove that, then I'm unfortunately forced to move elsewhere.
