We are using Ubuntu 24.04.0 X11 in Coin(the CI in Qt project) setup, Ubuntu 24.04.0 has too many issues. We have wasted too much time on it in our CI, almost 1.5 years after it was released. I would like to keep Ubuntu 22.04 X11(for both non-dev and dev builds) and the latest Ubuntu 24.04 Wayland(GNOME here). And we need to add a KDE/Plasma 6 Wayland configuration. We haven't fixed all issues after QPlatformIntegration::WindowActivation was supported on Wayland yet. We have enough things to do for Wayland (and X11). XWayland doesn't have priority here.
