  • This Week in Plasma: dark mode switch and global push-to-talk

  • Why ironic? It should be clear by now that Linux is the superior system in nearly every way.

  • Correct, to our chagrin. But it is there. KDE developers actually worked on it and implemented it. See the linked video. It is only a few minutes long.

  • We'll raffle one off at the next Akademy!

    [Ed.: No we won't. We aren't even allowed legally to do that. But maybe come to Akademy anyway.]

  • Plasma is going all Wayland

    Jump

  • Most, likely 95+% of users will never even realise. Hell, they didn't realise when we switched them over to Wayland by default in Plasma 6. Even less so now with NVIDIA at last getting their act together, and devs having spent many human-hours in figuring out support for graphic tablets and so on. And even less a year from now when we have full feature-parity with X11.

    You may be underestimating the competency and speed of KDE devs. These people are the effing top.

    Will there be people who still need X11 a year+ from now? Maybe, it will be for really niche reasons though: very specific hardware (most most common tablets and drawing pads are already supported) or really old legacy software their company requires them to use.

    Either way, there will be compatibility layers, distros and maybe even forks of Plasma with X11 support, so this is all a non-issue.
