    Any effort in this area is too much since it is for sure wasted. Even Bugfixes. If people want to use it, they should have stuck with plasma lts or use an lts distro.

    I know I’m not majority with this opinion, but plasma 6 should have dropped x11. Plasma 7 should drop xwayland.

    Not only does this make sense effort wise, but it prioritizes future and not past development.

    Valve can stay with older kwin version and/or support move to Wayland with SDL improvements and whatever else is needed. Not that they lack resources… Also Vulkan.

    Why still use WordPress when KDE has its own blog?

    Can you guys make a blog account to one of the most known KDE people that he can write his personal opinions there? This post really should be on kde.org.

    Gonna be down voted to oblivion, but doesn’t matter, here goes:

    Rgarding x11, this is a shame that it hasn’t been dropped already. Investing time and effort into a sad story instead of investing into improving Wayland session and apps. This kind of behavior is known in the corporate environment as sunk costs.

    It’s a shame that KDE is always a follower given a huge advantage in Qt toolkit.


  • Don’t know how to help you with those vdi problems, but here is an out of the box thinking: tell him to ask a neighbor.

    I have a similar situation so i got a hetzner VM and set up wireguard connections from both ends, so that vm serves as a hub/router. Then you can just ssh into the machine via vpn and do an update, upgrade or whatever.

    If you stick with Ubuntu lts, it will require very little maintenance.
