KDE Plasma 5.21 Now In Beta With Much Improved Wayland Support

Also interested.
Sick of SDDM and shutdown errors/delays

If SDDM is hanging and delaying shutdown, you can ALT-CTL-F7 to switch to VT7 (or whatever VT your system is running SDDM on) and if it is behaving like it is on my system, it should immediately exit.

Your "thanks" is false, just as what you just wrote.

What is the current situation with something like OBS screen capturing over Pipewire under Wayland?

I don't believe there's upstream support for it yet, but there's been a plugin enabling support for it for a while now.
It's even distributed by default with Flathub's OBS Flatpak.

Looks pretty much alive to me.

Looking forward to the Plasma System Monitor. Ksysguard is nice, I can build new tabs with it to monitor new things besides the default, but I feel it is a bit behind the times. I hope this new one allows the same kind of customization and more.

As for Wayland, lets hope this wave of adoption also comes to major apps, like browsers, office suites and multimedia stuff. Right now some of them are not behaving nice under Wayland.

Plasma under Wayland is mostly okay now. The Wayland showstopper for me is that anything running in Xwayland has blurry fonts on a HiDPI display which renders (literally) the whole concept of using a Wayland session completely unusable.

I want whatever you're smoking. Not only is it still active, but most (all) of the kde apps for plasma mobile are using it on the pinephone.

A project doesn't have to achieve world domination to be useful to the Linux community.

I'm impressed by the amount of work done between 5.20 and this version.

Great improvements !

I wish now the KDE Applikations are Krenamed Korreckly instead of stupid heterogenous names. (ex to follow : gnome & deepin)

Yes, names of apps need to be distinct! When gnome switched to generic names, I had a hard time searching the web for help, bugs and other people with the same problem.
If I remember correctly, not much later I had enough of gnome and gave KDE Plasma a other try to see if it got it's stability problems under control and they did.
