Just incase you're serious. Work on gnome x11 and kde x11 stopped ages ago, updates to the x11 server do not matter in the slightest.

As far as I know, there's no DE with a good Wayland implementation AND a good x11 implementation. Gnome dropped theirs and when kde announced they where going to drop theirs. They also mentioned that it was basically unmaintained for years at this point.
