> Moving forward with a single code path going through Wayland is going to allow us to bring new performance improvements, memory optimisations [sic], and brand new exciting features throughout Plasma.

I wish they would have listed what some of those features might be.

They're still trying to figure that one out themselves.

		I’m not surprised they’re not nailed down. But I’d appreciate seeing a “we’re looking at X or Y or if Z is now possible” kind of thing. The maintenance and performance stuff is good, but it’s not exactly end user stuff. Yeah you benefit but it’s less obvious. I don’t follow this stuff closely so personally I have no idea what kind of Wayland only features could exist that couldn’t before.

		One nice feature is trackpad gestures. x11's trackpad gestures are awful, but on Wayland you can have the 1:1 multitouch that everyone loves.

HDR support would be one I suppose. IIRC it's plain impossible with X11.

		That already works with Plasma Wayland. It's still a bit finicky to make it work with things running in XWayland (Windows games primarily) but it's getting better.

Did you really just [sic] a British guy using British spelling?

		Is that a British spelling? Oops. Honestly my computer gave it a red underline so I decided to do that. I didn’t think about it harder than that. If I recognized it like “colour” I wouldn’t have.
