By moving the options from services.xserver.desktopManager.plasma6 to services.desktopManager.plasma6.

TBH, I would be all for moving everything that supports Wayland out of the xservice/x11 directory, where would Wayland-only DE go, though? E.g. COSMIC?

Yes but let's start somewhere and then go from there to the other bits.

We just strip xserver from the options path. Then the options don't mention a specific display technology.

Will it still be possible to use Plasma6 with X11? The Nvidia Wayland Plasma6 support still was mostly broken in all my tests. Especially with old Nvidia graphic cards or with 4k single or dual screen (but I wasn't even able to make the latter work even with X11).

[K900]

Yes.

Awesome. I had 0 issues with AMD Radeon or Intel graphic cards. But Nvidia... phew... 😅 No suspend to RAM without garbled characters, no screen-lock without only getting a black screen afterward (the latter also under X11).

It would be great to have this merged before the Cosmic module, so we can avoid having to move that one in the future

i use that pr since some days on my fork, i like the idea of moving the desktop managers out of the xserver config namespace, as the major ones are pushing to wayland (only) sessions, so it might be a good idea to unrelate it in our config as well
