JetBrains confirms native Wayland support for IntelliJ IDEs starting in 2026.1. The move from X11 improves scaling and performance for Linux developers.
You're reading JetBrains enables Wayland support by default in IntelliJ 2026.1, a blog post from OMG! Ubuntu. Do not reproduce elsewhere without permission.
Kubuntu 25.10 will not ship with an X11 desktop session on its ISO, following Ubuntu's lead. An X11 Plasma session will remain available for manual install.
