"Thanks" for removing X11 support. 😠 The Wayland session even stutters on the desktop with triple-buffering disabled with an internal Intel graphics on a 2nd Gen i5. X11 in comparison was lightning fast. Interestingly this wasn't the case with Plasma 6.5 under Wayland.

X11 was outdated anyway, you can't expect them to support it forever.

That's not the point. The point is, that Plasma under Wayland became an order of magnitude slower than it was under a previous version, where there was no noticeable performance difference between X11 and Wayland. Now the Wayland session is unusable compared to X11 and X11 support got removed.
