When big tech does “maybe later” instead of “never” it’s Evil™. When KDE does it’s “it helps us get the money!” That’s exactly the same reason big tech does it, though 🤷

@dario dons jo al revés, sempre havia estat de #gnome, però per tenir-lo al meu gust havia d'instal•lar un munt d'extensions i moltes petaven amb actualitzacions grans...

Resulta que tot ja ho tenia a #kde sense afegir res i més ràpid que no pas amb #gnome, sobretot en quant a ús de ram, sorprenent pq històricament #gnome era més "lleuger".
Així que em vaig canviar, i la mar de content!

Però vaja, cadascú ha de trobar el que li funciona, una gran avantatge de #linux 😁😁

Gotta say that, having done this a gazillion times on Linux, system and application upgrades on FreeBSD are very smooth. Upgraded to Plasma 6.5.3 and RC 4 of FreeBSD 15 in one go. Running on Wayland, very nice. Close to one month now and gone through all the paces and updates.
Followed my own effing manual of course 😂

The new NixOS 25.11 release is great. Upgrading was automatic. And something was fixed to make KDE look much smoother at high refresh rates. Linux has never worked better for me. Thanks to the many contributors.

L'anno sta per finire, avete fatto la vostra donazione a #KDE?

Updated to #NixOS 25.11 and #Plasma 6.5. All issues fixed, and I love Plasma's improvements. #EasyEffects got updated to version 8 in the process, it's quite a big improvement too: now we got a built-in tray icon and a better integration to #KDE due to the rewriting of the interface in Qt/QML/Kirigami instead of GTK4. All good!

#OpenBSD #KDE #Qt update: Plasma 6.5.3, Qt 6.10.1, Qt 5.15.18 + KDE patches, Newest QtPy stack. It couldn't be any more up to date. That was a lot of work! Now it's time to get it into the cvs tree so that everyone can use it soon.

KDE-Desktop sagt X11-Modus adé und setzt vollständig auf Wayland

Anfang 2027 und damit etwas mehr als ein Jahr nach Gnome will auch KDE den Support für X11 entfernen und fortan vollends auf Wayland setzen.

KDE Plasma 6.8 Will Go Fully Wayland, Ending Nearly 30 Years of X11 Sessions // @linuxiac

｢ But no worries for now. X11 apps will continue to run through Xwayland, which already handles most workloads reliably. KDE has added compatibility features such as improved fractional scaling and optional X11 global shortcut support to smooth the transition ｣

While this might technically be correct, it's in my opinion a complete disaster towards our users.

So, a huge warning to the KDE folk in my bubble: do _not_ currently update Qt or Plasma if you happen to use the calendar integration (show calendar events in your desktop) as this will most likely lead to you being unable to log in to your desktop.
