KDE Ends Out October With More Fixes, Continued Polishing To Plasma Wayland

Having tried Plasma Wayland on my new laptop a little bit. I can say that it is really close to being ready. Looks great. Keep on going!!

I know, but what i meant was for it to become the defacto standard of the Linux desktop. That way apps may begin to use it instead of pulseaudio emulation.

As I understand it, there are no plans of replacing PulseAudio API at the moment, hust like there's no plan to introduce JACK replacement. In a interview I read few months ago, Wim Taymans said that those APIs are now used as "audio toolkits" and until somebody will come out with some new API that will be better, there's no need to replace them - if I'm getting it correctly. Another thing is apps that do something more to the audio on lower level, like PulseEffect. They already prefer PW to PA from what I see.

I think PW will become standard, default audio server much sooner than Wayland will become the default display protocol. There are no huge blockers or anything that would straight up prevent most users from switching already. Just need some time to prove it's worth switching by default for distros.
