Numerous pitfalls are mentioned; Sally concludes that using AI is mostly in the setup, with payments often appearing in the back end.

Linux User Space: Wayland Is the Future of Linux, Even KDE Plasma Agrees

“The KDE team has announced that X11 will soon (2027) be unsupported on Plasma and become Wayland-only rather than Wayland-first. Steam Deck is already there for the most part with Gamescope, and between normal installs of newer Plasma, Steam Deck, Kubuntu and Bazzite, Plasma is growing by the minute. Wayland is inevitable!”

The Ubuntu community consists of individuals and teams, working on different aspects of the distribution, giving advice and technical support, and helping to promote Ubuntu to a wider audience. No contribution is too small, and anyone can help. It’s your chance to get in on all the community fun associated with developing and promoting Ubuntu. More on this at: https://community.ubuntu.com/contribute/
