“The Wayland revolution has begun, with more and more GNU/Linux distributions jumping on board and making the switch to this next-generation display server. Leading the charge are the Fedora Project, who announced their transition to Wayland as the default for the upcoming Fedora 25 Linux operating system. But they are not alone. KDE-based distros like KDE Neon are also getting on board, with the announcement today from KDE developer Martin Gräßlin that the KDE Neon Developer edition will soon be switching to Wayland as well, marking a major milestone for the KDE community.
According to Gräßlin, this move to Wayland is the largest step the KDE community has ever taken towards full adoption. And with the upcoming release of KDE Plasma 5.8 LTS, which includes the latest Xwayland and QtWayland builds, the transition is right around the corner. While Nvidia and AMD Radeon users will not be affected, Intel graphics card users can look forward to experiencing the benefits of Wayland. Mark your calendars for October 4, 2016, when KDE Plasma 5.8 LTS will officially land in the stable channels, and you can join the Wayland revolution with KDE Neon Developer edition.”
