Going all-in on a Wayland future

Well folks, it’s the beginning of a new era: after nearly three decades of KDE desktop environments running on X11, the future KDE Plasma 6.8 release will be Wayland-exclusive! Support for X11 applications will be fully entrusted to Xwayland, and the Plasma X11 session will no longer be included.

    Ahh I see. Doesn’t quite solve all of my problems then, but at least it’s doing some heavy lifting already without me knowing. Thanks!

        Primarily my aforementioned issue with Remmina not being able to span multiple monitors while running under wayland.

        I think when I looked it up I saw the Remmina devs have been aware of this problem for a couple years now, but the problem is surprisingly difficult for them to fix for a few reasons I can’t recall at the moment.

          Can you try running remmina in xwindow mode instead of wayland and see if that bandages the problem? I remember having that problem when I had two monitors, but it gave me an excuse to upgrade to an ultra wide so I didn’t troubleshoot it that much.
