T11054 should also be mentioned here, as input methods are also acting as a showstopper for certain users to even try out the Wayland.

This is also somewhat of a prerequisite for T11057 I think.

Although, I can't wait to see us switching to Wayland. I think this is slightly too "focused on one tech" as a goal. I'd rather see a lot of Wayland influence in the T11054 and T11057 goals mentioned than having a Wayland goal on its own which would overlook input methods for instance (which is exactly what the people who already switched for good did AFAICT).

there are some touch related things that currently need wayland (and probably will keep requiring wayland)

• virtual keybaord
• auto screen rotation
• runtime detection for transformable laptops

And don't forget support for drawing tablets.

I agree with this. Can we find an angle for this goal that is not technology focused but expresses what will become better in the world? What is the underlying thing we want to make possible or achieve? What story would we be able to tell to get people excited?

Maybe something from these can be used to inspire:

• https://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2015/11/looking-at-the-security-of-plasmawayland/

Wayland by default would offer a better user experience. E.g. a tear free desktop, less power consumption, different refresh rates per screen, better possibilities to extend our desktop on mobile, better touch support and most important improved security. So yes, the goal as it is framed is focused on tech, but it can easily be reworded to focus on the advantages it gives us in comparison to X11.

@fbampaloukas Are you or someone else going to adapt this proposal still based on the comments here before the vote?

I have reworked it to make it more focused on the way that it was discussed here. It is ready to vote by me.

Thank you :)

Quick reminder that there are two days left before the voting starts. Please make any changes you still want to make soon.

Hey @fbampaloukas: I think the title of your goal could give a stronger impression if you stated explicitly what you want it to achieve. May I suggest Get KDE Working properly on Wayland Once and for All?

Vote invite were sent to everyone subscribed to the KDE community mailing list and everyone with a developer account. Any contributor who didn't receive one please subscribe to the mailing list to not miss future announcements and send me a quick email (lydia@kde.org) and I'll send you a vote invite.

I hope this will include adding wacom and graphic tablet support under wayland in the missing functionality list.

Congratulations! This goal was selected as one of the three that we will concentrate on now. I sent you an email to coordinate the next steps.

My email to you bounced, @fbampaloukas. Could you email me at lydia@kde.org please?
