FreeBSD 15 probably will include KDE as DE installtion option

I think there are now other projects to keep X alive aside from Xlibre, but so far, for me, X is fine. I also seem to remember that recently, there has been work on Xorg. Don't know if that's correct, but I do know an alpine linux person was working on Wayback, something that let you run X window managers on a Wayland system.
T-Aoki, I know you've mentioned various problems with Wayland, but as I've said, for me, labwc is quite a workable substitute. I know you've said you don't use tiling window managers but for others looking at this, there is sway (which may not work with Nvidia) and mango, which despite seeming to be one of those WMs that's bloated, can easily have animations and such removed so that it becomes a lot like dwl, the Wayland version of dwm. What is your usual window manager out of idle curiosity?
 
I don't think anyhow KDE offers better functionality compared to lightweight DE like MATE,Xfce,LXQT etc if you don't want fancy graphical effects.
Its not about fancy graphical effects, its about high resolution support and proper scaling. MATE/XFCE/LXQT are horrible at it. The only desktop environments that have these features properly implemented are Gnome/KDE/Cinnamon and Cosmic. Everything else is atrocious.

I hope I understand what you're saying correctly, but sane on single (or some of) compositor is NOT sufficient. It should be the whole Wayland environments. Working sanely on every possible compositors that DOES NOT ABUSING basic Wayland components is mandatory.

In my humble opinion, achieve what they OPENLY stating (security issue on protocols itself) could be to use exisiting XIM protocol and related immodules to communicate / linked against with core components underlying below compositors (near hardware level) only, and core components delegates as if there's no other apps connecting to IM frameworks from single process. It may hurt a bit on performance, though.

On my device (ThinkBook 14 G8 IRL),scaling and resolution support works very fine after some manual adjustment.
