No you won't.

They won't throw more than a decade of work to the garbage because "30%" and Nvidia. Those issues can be fixed. Want them to be fixed? Stop complaining and contribute.

Honestly just buy a machine that has issues with Wayland and daily it yourself.

We’ll make sure Plasma continues to compile and deploy on X11.

As for when Plasma will drop support for X11? There’s currently no firm timeline for this, and I certainly don’t expect it to happen in the next year, or even the next two years.

Note, they said "compile" and "deploy", not "function" or "work".

That's basically "#vibecoding on release" talk.

“Continues to run” is “continues to function”.

And they elaborate anyways:

Plasma’s X11 session continues to be maintained.

Specifically, that means:

We’ll make sure Plasma continues to compile and deploy on X11. Bug reports about the Plasma X11 session being horribly broken (for example, you can’t log in) will be fixed.
