Is there any issue with switching frequently between Wayland and X11?

I can’t imagine there is but I’m wondering if I am missing something. I use GeForce Now and unfortunately it does not work in Plasma Wayland (issues with input redirection). Is there any problem with logging into an X11 session whenever I want to use that but using Wayland generally?

There shouldn’t be, although I’ve found that Firefox doesn’t to automatic Wayland detection well (I need MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND and such, but only on Wayland, to get touch pad gestures working) so that’s more of a pain than I’d like. If everything works for you, you shouldn’t run into any trouble switching back and forth.

Plasma and apps for mobile also getting overhauled for 6.

It's not only Plasma on the desktop that is getting a new version, as Devin Lin explains in his blog post,

https://espi.dev/posts/2023/12/plasma-mobile-towards-6/

developers are working hard on getting 6 ready for the scheduled for February.

For better or for worse, starting every project with a K does make KDE software very recognisable. Their themes don’t jam with my setup so I use it as a way to avoid most of them, but it’s solid branding. KDE users used to be able to do the same thing with Gnome applications, but Gnome has switched away from that approach.

KOrganizer should just be filed under “o”, though. And I don’t know what krfb does, but it needs a name users can pronounce.
