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!

If you don't want Wayland at all, neither Gnome or KDE Plasma with be right for you (outside of Long Term Support Linuxes), so Xfce, Lxqt, and tiling window managers will be your only refuge.
