Kubuntu 25.10 will not ship with an X11 desktop session on its ISO, following Ubuntu's lead. An X11 Plasma session will remain available for manual install.

Thing is, there's no real software KVM (or rather KM) solution for Wayland. Barrier (and the others) works only on X11.
It's a minor thing, but unfortunately major enough for me to be unable to switch to Wayland at all.
Completely dropping X11 sounds a nightmare in my case. I'm not against dropping X11, if Wayland proves to be a better alternative. But not with "holes" like this. :c
- i mean you can always reinstall the x11 session, this is just distro's dropping their x11 install by default
  
  @mizule @kuneho I believe it is actually the Gnome desktop that dropped it. Mate and KDE will continue to support it, don't know about LXDE, XFCE, etc.
  
  well, that's true.
