What version of glTF is supported? Is glTF2.0 supported?

Sadly KIO has disabled KAuth support temporarily (so no Polkit to save config files owned by root in e.g. Kate or KWrite). Apparently there were some security bugs discovered by SUSE but I hope they get fixed by KF5 5.44 in March (which will be too late for Kubuntu 18.04).

I used to be excited about new KDE releases. In the last couple of years, as an nvidia user, I feel like I'm on life support and someone is about to pull the plug any moment now.

I tried to prepare for it by installing many different desktops, including Gnome and XFCE, but they all suck. I'd rather switch to Windows than be forced to use something other than KDE

I can understand that. But there's hope on the horizon. NVIDIA is going to have to come up with a better solution for Wayland eventually. And Xorg should still work fine-ish.
