We spend a *lot* of time working with users and developers alike to support KDE Plasma. Efforts around X11 have been dead for years, the focus has been on Wayland for quite some time now. We *are* committed to working to support people where reasonable with Plasma Wayland. We still support Plasma X11 on Fedora 39 and CentOS/RHEL 9, where Plasma 5 is still used. > After almost-daily dnf upgrades my F40-only box does now appear to be > usable with the low-end nvidia GT710 hardware and the > xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-470xx package from the > rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing repo. > > This is true only if I install plasma-workspace-x11 and choose the > plasma-x11 desktop.

And there are some low profile, low end Intel Arc GPUs[2] that would be way more beneficial to provide coverage of modern video codecs in hardware. Either of those would be great upgrades for your system and get you off the nearly-EOL NVIDIA 470 driver that does not receive much support from NVIDIA now and let you use Plasma Wayland quite well. But if you still want to use NVIDIA, we have good support for NVIDIA GTX 1600/RTX 2000 or newer out of the box, and the current NVIDIA driver series (555) supports GTX 900 and higher with Plasma Wayland.
