Hopefully by the time of Kubuntu 22.04 LTS is released, the Wayland session can be the default one.

Been using KDE since the 2x days and this is a welcome refinement to Plasma!

Can't wait to see this on the SteamDeck!

Does anybody know if Yakuake under KDE/Wayland can detect the current screen under cursor in order to open the terminal on that screen? It's basically a heavy part of my workflow. Wayland does not allow applications to query the active screen (security) and it would probably require some cooperation with KWin.

25 years and GNOME still sucks.

Fixed that for you.
