while Debian is still deciding if they ship with Wayland by default or not, Fedora and KDE are planning to already completely drop x11 for their next release (they ship Wayland by default)
Fedora 40 with kde plasma 6 dropped a day or two ago, and they did remove x11, you have to get it from the repo in case you want it, otherwise, it only comes and is planned for wayland, which I believe is great, for once it does seem like the year of wayland
I was kidding about Fedora but Red Hat can actually afford to do that. They’re not a generalist distro, they can and should offer their customers a very specific desktop stack.

Fedora should drop every other DE except KDE. That would really free up some resources.
It would also uncheck a lot of accessibility requirements that RHEL in particular needs.

For Fedora I’m not surprised, but KDE is considering dropping X11 support already?
Yes, because Plasma 6 is so flawless on Wayland. /s
