Something moved, and since we ship three Qt 6 / Kirigami apps, a Tauri 2 PDF editor, and a small egui utility, all of which run on Plasma 6 over Wayland on our own machines every working day, the state of things is a report we can write from evidence rather than folklore, which is the only way the question deserves to be answered.</p>
