It's official, it appears the freaking 144Hz crusade won, and now KDE is dead without anybody to really care about the project.
With Alexmitter getting 56 likes (FIVE MORE likes than my best post and TWO MORE than skeevy420's counter-post in 2019), he freaking ruined and destroyed KDE, creating a new world order where everything is GNOME. Yeah, the desktop in where you have to think backwards to use it.
We tried our best to overcome and prevent their victory, but the crusade struck us to no end, and with Qt and the KDE devs slacking off in the stability department (not to mention that even GNOME is somewhat unstable), we horribly failed and met our death.
KWin is broken and uses a timer for frame timing. As soon as you change the refresh rate (or after a while), there is stutter which gets on the way.
Two attempts were made to solve this problem (kwin-lowlatency and KWinFT). Both ended up being independent forks.
In the other side, van Vugt solved the problems.
KWin does not have full-screen unredirection (exclusive fullscreen), which means extra latency when playing something in full-screen.
It used to, but the developers decided to remove it for no reason (they call it a "hack"), and insert a REAL HACK called "block compositing". It is worse than the FS unredirect solution, and takes longer to toggle.
GNOME has it on the Wayland side. How is it that we are showing a bad image about KDE?
KDE Plasma is turning into a parasited minefield, with bugs and glitches in every corner, and sometimes crashes, even for nonsense reasons.
Despite years of work, most of it is in the visible side (around 90%), with the other 10% being REAL bug fixes.
Sometimes you log out fine, but sometimes there is a KWin lingering in the background eating your CPU, and sometimes IT TAKES OVER SDDM!!
SDDM has no intro animation, unlike macOS, Windows or GDM.
It looks like Phoronix is being destroyed, and everything turns into a war zone. Literally, everything. 144Hz and the clan having a sort of evil Midas' touch. Everything they touch turns into a flamewar.
Members leaving the areas as it becomes less comfortable to live in. Paying members who are disappointed with their tactics leaving.
This was predicted 7 years ago by Honton (probably 144Hz's old name).
We wanted peace. We wanted to live in our KDE land and not have anybody invade us, and vice-versa.
But noooo, they have to conquer Phoronix and pretty much own it, to turn its members into slaves forced to use GNOME and its self-claimed "True Freedom" in a future, one way or the other.
Apparently we get the freedom to change it, but not to fork it and go away improving the UX.
And there is no way to get rid of them, not even with administrator intervention. Nobody can stop them. Not even KDE e.V. or The Qt Company themselves.
I am pretty sure that eventually everyone will give up and 144Hz will buy Phoronix, to turn it into GNOMix, and delete all the KDE threads.
Eventually he will buy KDE and The Qt Company, with the mission of destroying it completely, and making it illegal to use KDE. That's not "True Freedom"!
