    Great to see KDE getting more and more stable. What I really hope is that Plasma 6 will not become early Plasma 4 or 5 all over again (I mean bugginess to the point of unusability). But I'm pretty sure it won't happen again, especially when Steam Deck is intended for the mass market.

      Michael , do you have any idea how I would've gotten subscribed to this thread? I never viewed it, nor even read the article!

      I don't see any other subscriptions I don't recall.

      Did you do something weird, like reuse an old thread ID that had no comments?

        Don't believe so, no idea how that would have happened unless you subscribed to the outter forum for notifications? Or some other ID collision or something.

          Indeed, we intend to make Plasma 6 a fairly boring release. No major UI changes or giant new features are currently planned. It will be 99.9% the same as Plasma 5, but powered by Qt 6.

                I wish Gnome would focus more on gaming.
                I still can't properly play Doom Eternal in Fullscreen on Gnome X11 using Nvidia hardware.

                  Gaming is an unnecessary option that you don't need, so we removed it. - Love, GNOME devs

                    Sometimes it feels like it yeah.
                    I do like Gnome for it's simplicity and "not having to mess with it"-feeling.
                    It pretty much works fine for both X11 and Wayland.
                    However for Fullscreen 3d accelerated stuff (GL/Vulkan) there seems to be a slow down..
