KDE Saw Its Wayland Support Stabilize Nicely In 2020, Much Polishing Throughout

[royce]

All the performance and configuration issues you guys are mentioning have zero to do with wayland and all to do with kde's wayland implementation being just shoddy. They should simply fork kwin, put kwin-x11 on life support and let kwin-wayland be stripped clean of old X11 code and laser-focused to function properly as a wayland compositor. This is taking them so long because they're playing an unnecessary game of whack-a-mole where they're being careful of not breaking X11 while ensuring the wayland implementation works.

I admin I'm biased, because I haven't had a TV since 2005, but looking for it I see a RPi4 image. Ok, I get it.
I've to ask, does it work? I mean, the Pi4 has terrible tearing problems related to its drivers. Is it even suitable for a TV?

That depends on who you ask, but PlasmaBigscreen is effectivly just a friendly shell based on plasma nano, so you can install it on whatever. But the screen tearing on raspberry pi isnt that bad if you use manjaro in my experience

Anyone who wants a legitimate smart TV experience that isn't aids. the options we have are crappy android ones, crappy roku ones, and crappy apple ones. No free software in smart TV land.

How is the subsurfaces clipping bug? I gave up on them ever fixing it.

As a Kde fan, I really wonder who cares about Bigscreen...

either they rewrite kwin and some components for Wayland or stop give F about music player or this funny text editor that can support only left to right languages

Stable? Are you using the same KDE? Wayland is a mess on KDE and for the first time ever I had to move to Gnome (which never happened before since the days of KDE 2).

Wayland support stabilized? What KDE are you looking at? My KDE only has Wayland support in "tech preview", according to ngraham
Great strides have been made (and that includes running Wayland on top of Nvidia's drivers: https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Wayland/Nvidia), but the thing is still way too easy to mess up. Hopefully you can (rightly) use that title this time next year.

Stabilize is a verb, not an adjective. To stabilize does not mean it is yet stable.
