Using KDE5 X11 as I&#x27;m typing this, wayland is actually starting to look like an upgrade rather than a downgrade now that they have things like HDR.<p>Hopefully we&#x27;ll also get things like querying global mouse position and reading global key states (with the necessary popups about the safety of these things)

This is great but it&#x27;s not clear to me from the article to which Plasma version these fixes and updates are for, 6.0 or 5.27.10, or both, as the article mentions both.<p>I&#x27;m asking because I&#x27;d like to give KDE with these latest changes a spin in a VM, since last time when I tried Kubuntu I saw some annoying UI glitches so maybe those are fixed but there&#x27;s no mention on the blog how to get their latest changes to try them out.<p>Maybe Arch or Tumbleweed?

i have been running wayland on plasma neon Operating System: KDE neon 5.27<p>KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.9 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.111.0 Qt Version: 5.15.11 Kernel Version: 6.2.0-36-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland<p>for quite some time now and it is pretty nice actually. (i daily drive it 9 hours a day)<p>1. simplescreenrecorder does not work which breaks my heart.<p>2. spectacle screen recording crashes the system pretty quickly.<p>3. from 1 year ago, wayland works super reliably now.<p>4. kde connect has &quot;issues&quot; on wayland like videos dont pause or notifications pile up after a call<p>5. everything i can do on x11 i can do on wayland (simplescreenrecorder excluding) 6. i am an old time neon user and the move to wayland was progessively better for me. 7. i have not tried multi monitor so can&#x27;t say for sure. 8. overall i am very happy with the way kde and plasma neon is going.

Did they fix less sharp than X11 when scaling is fractional? at 168% X11 KDE is laser sharp. At 170% Wayland is noticeably blurrier.
