KDE 6.8 is coming out next week, and it removes XOrg, keeping only Wayland and XWayland. I wanted to keep both graphics servers so I could switch between them whenever I wanted. I found SonicDE (https://sonicde.org/), which is a KDE fork that keeps X11 and removes Wayland. However, as I understand it, it removes the KDE login manager (plasmalogin.service) and replaces it with Sonic Manager (soniclogin.service). So, I think I’d lose KDE/Wayland. Is it possible to keep both so that, when I start up my PC, I can choose which desktop environment to boot into?
