Pretty nice updates! And it is interesting that with KDE you always feel that it needs fixes and you always wait for newer versions with hope...

They better figure out this Wayland session crash on AMD GPUs. So far there is no indication of the known root cause.

They need to look at QDockWidgets. They don't have window decorations on kde wayland.

"Plasma 5.14 has been breaking a lot of great stuff the past few months." - I see what you did there! :-)

...

KDE has a long history of breaking stuff (and I say that as a user of the K since the turn of the century who has never managed to switch away despite periodic attempts to do so!)

Typo:

Flatpak handling improvements, and various UI woprk.

I still very must doubt that it's usable, as in you can switch to kwin_wayland and not notice the difference

Yes I've raised bugs yes they were closed by Martin for "not being bugs"

Let me be the first to say that I'm happy kde user. I'm just waiting for the day to use wayland on kde. Currently it's not much worth it, but I'd say that for any DE atm
