- The Plasma X11 session has been removed, with Plasma 6.8 featuring only Wayland in the login screen.
- XWayland support remains, allowing X11 applications to run, while KDE apps on other desktops are unaffected.
- Transitioning to Wayland enables performance improvements and new features, with over 95% of Plasma 6.6 users on Wayland.
- Plasma 6.7 is the last release with an X11 session; users with issues are encouraged to report them for future fixes.
