KDE Plasma is amazing.
I am happy that they do Wayland as default now, the Wayland experience has long been flawless for me. I wonder when this update will hit the Steam Deck, since gamescope is Wayland I don't think Valve will go out of their way to enable X again.

KDE Plasma is bloat

no >:( everything kde is perfect

[–] PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

honestly yeah. KDE takes forever to start and the Klauncher and main menu are so slow they always open the wrong apps. It's infuriating because otherwise it's a competent DE with great customizability.

Also doesn't have very good touch support, forget wayland vs x11, the interface of KDE just isn't suited for touch screens, using it on the Steam Deck is incredibly frustrating because the interface is so small and requires scrolling more often than not.

I'm in Feb 28th already, it's not coming yet, where pama 6 >:(

Maybe it's German time, since the organization managing the KDE project is based in Germany? So you'll have to wait somewhere between 15 minutes and 24h + 15min.

Don't know when MX will get 6.0 but I am excited despite not knowing what any of the new features are. All I know is Plasma looks beautiful to me and that's why I like it.

I can't wait :3

I couldn't wait, I'm already using it for that HDR support.

[–] ElectroLisa@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 8 months ago

Already used it since first betas, glad to see KRunner changes and the way VRR is handled on Wayland. Still waiting for fullscreen tearing though

[–] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 8 months ago

That's cool and all, but when will it have denim

[–] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 8 months ago

I bet it'll be a while before it's available on Steam Deck. So I won't get to see it until then.

xfce my beloved

[–] 737@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 months ago

I use KDE but unless its really a huge change or disrupts my defaults, I probably wont even notice
