plasma-workspace doesn't "require" wayland. We use a custom Wayland protocol at one place without using Wayland as a windowing system. I will do a blog post about what it means exactly when we release 5.2. At the moment Plasma still fully requires an X11 session. > > If kwin supports wayland, do I need xorg-server in order to run > plasma-desktop?

Yes, the development code for Wayland is in the kwin_wayland binary, but it doesn't support starting a Wayland server yet. Cheers Martin
