KDE Plasma will continue having an X11 session, as Kubuntu switches to Wayland by default

Keeping X11 compatibility, especially in such a large DE as KDE, is really important.
I get the point of "we have to move forward", but I'm still hit with very casual things that are not working that great with KDE on wayland that are not an issue in X11. Such issues include proper clipboard integration (I know there's ongoing work regarding that, in particular with xdg-portal), some apps having issue with their contextual menu showing nowhere near where they should, some screen-specific application being unable to know/settle on a specific screen, etc.

I'll keep checking on the regular; it's trivial to move from one to another after all, no configuration required. But it remains important to keep that option as long as very common issue can still show up.
