Kubuntu 25.10 Drops X11 Session for Wayland-Only Install
Kubuntu 25.10 Won’t Include an X11 Session by Default
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.Joey Sneddon (OMG! Ubuntu!)

It's really not fair to demand that people building your DE for free maintain two vastly different rendering stacks when they clearly don't want to.
