#2 Moving to Wayland by default
Closed: Fixed by ngompa. Opened by ngompa.

Closed: Fixed
Reopen Issue

Wayland is the future for the desktop. The Workstation Edition has been using Wayland by default for five years now. We should switch to Wayland and make a good Wayland by default experience like Workstation offers.

Currently known Wayland bugs: Wayland Showstoppers

Blocker for me was Primary Selection Protocol (middle-click paste) support but this should be (partially?) done in 5.20 which will probably be in F33.

Change proposal submitted for Fedora 34: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/WaylandByDefaultForPlasma

+1 from me. I have been using Plasma Wayland for 2+ years and trying to push it forward. I did lots of qt5-qtwayland backports and improvements so you can count me in, I will be glad to help.

The switch has been made for Fedora 34:

  • plasma-workspace: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/plasma-workspace/c/c401c311ba92598dcf37997e06ccfbb0186269b9?branch=master
  • kwin: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/kwin/c/f29078fddd3d941b7fb67a6e15d2327a195ff24e?branch=master

fedora-comps PR is still awaiting merge: https://pagure.io/fedora-comps/pull-request/538

This is all implemented now in time for Beta freeze.
