KDE developer Nate Graham stated today that the KDE Plasma desktop's Wayland transition "nears completion" as 2025 concludes. In a recent blog post, Graham highlighted the progress made throughout the year towards the project's goal of becoming Wayland-only in early 2027. This announcement underscores the significant strides made in migrating the popular desktop environment to the Wayland display server protocol. The ongoing efforts are aimed at fully phasing out X11 reliance for the KDE Plasma user experience by the specified 2027 timeline.
