    IIRC it's the same on Windows, am I wrong?

    Under Xorg I changed Kwin with Openbox for betting performace (yes, Kwin is a mess for me) in the past, but under Wayland this is not possible because Kwin is mandatory.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    Templated convergent controls and multi-platform utilities for Maui applications

    Looks pretty much alive to me.

    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.
