I wouldn't consider Deepin a serious business. It mostly reuses existing components ftom GNOME and KDE adding nice blurry shell, but it's terribly buggy X11 desktop that nobody uses. Are Deepin developers involved in some common projects that it utilizes like xserver-xorg, kwin, GTK or I don't know... NetworkManager even? I'm asking seriously, I have no knowledge about that.

KDE on the other hand, they wanted to use the Qt Company written Wayland Server implementation and that was their mistake. Maybe in 5 years or so, it will be as production ready as Mutter is today for Wayland.

For now I'm using 455.50.19 to avoid this nasty bug.

Yes, I joined the conversation about the community maintaned v5.15 and I would have liked to help a little if I had time, but I don't think that qualifies me as being ready (or able) to maintain a fork all by myself.
Also, have you noticed that you managed to be racist in your previous post?

I remember AMD sending hundreds of thousands of line to kernel, most of it just auto-generated headers files.
I also remember about the case IBM/Microsoft on OS/2:
Code:The two companies had significant differences in culture and vision. Microsoft favored the open hardware system approach that contributed to its success on the PC. IBM sought to use OS/2 to drive sales of its own hardware, and urged Microsoft to drop features, such as [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_font"]fonts[/URL], that IBM's hardware did not support. Microsoft programmers also became frustrated with IBM's bureaucracy and its use of [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_lines_of_code"]lines of code[/URL] to measure [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmer_productivity"]programmer productivity[/URL]. IBM developers complained about the terseness and lack of [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comment_(computing)"]comments[/URL] in Microsoft's code, while Microsoft developers complained that IBM's code was [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_bloat"]bloated[/URL].

By the way, what tQtC did with LST versions is wrong, even if it didn't have a much of an impact, but CLAs per se aren't bad.
If you were to stop using open source projects that have a CLAs you could just shutdown your pc and forget about it.
However, tell me why do you think that despite all the supposed downsides Qt is much more used than freer alternatives.
I'm honestly asking. What do you think the Gtk project should do better to improve its usage?
