I'm sure the good people at KDE wouldn't mind delaying 6.8 if more work is needed for something as important as accessibility. And let's be real: if you don't need voice input then KDE on Wayland is ready.

No one is "forcing" anything on you, and I'm finding this argument increasingly disingenuous. If you prefer the current versions then you're entirely free to keep them.

But you do not get to demand that future versions are only ever implemented your way. If that's what you want, fork the project or pay someone to do it for you. Acting entitled about the work of volunteers who are sharing it with you for free is not a good look.

Decades? Really?

Wayland very first release was 17 years ago in 2008 and QT didn't support it until 2015. xdg-desktop-portal first stable release was in 2018 and PipeWire in 2023.

I thought we had peaked with systemd when it came to FUD here but Wayland might give it a run for its money.

Wayland isn't decadeS (plural) old. So it can't have been ready that long. And it still isn't. It's a design-by-committee type of thing.

Wayland is the IPv6 of the windowed display world.

The bright, complete, unfettered future always just a few more versions and a few more years over the horizon.
