I am curious - there are many x11 only apps, will they stop working OOTB?




No, XWayland isn't going away. Just X.org for running them.

> Just X.org for running them

What does that mean?


X11 applications will still "work" on Plasma Wayland session by utilizing XWayland, a tool that (afaik) runs a compact X11 session for each application.

What is being removed is running an X11-native Plasma session, only Wayland Plasma sessions will be available starting with Plasma 6.8.
