KDE's Bug Fixes & Other Desktop Enhancements For Christmas

That is missing the point, if I join the Plasma team how can users incentivize me to follow a direction that they are interested in?

Patreon exists. So do github sponsorships.

I feel like what you're really asking is how you can force KDE devs to do what you want, though, and the answer is you can't.

Perhaps join the Plasma team and contribute the changes yourself.

deep color support was merged 1 month ago: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-..._requests/1641

Thanks for the hint, but it actually merged just on December 25th.

The problem about the Locales is a limitation of QLocale, which sadly is by far was than good old KLocale was. (according to the bug thread)

On my whishlist for next year: seamless 10-bit+ color support (in X11 and Steam). For QT: As soon as I compile qt5-tools with modest opimization flags, I get a funny undefined symbol errors (QUiLoader::QUiLoader(QObject*)) compiling KwinFT (see: https://gitlab.com/kwinft/kwinft/-/issues/205)

Usually it should work with wayland, but it could be one of the protocol limitations wayland suffers from (becuase applications cannot listen to key inputs all the time, which to be fair woudl be a security catastrophy (is on Xorg) )

Well, I guess you could make a protocol extension where applications can "register" system-wide shortcuts which are then sent to them instead of the application currently in focus.

This is the missing thing for me, how can I incentivise Plasma devs to go into a direction that I LIKE??

One extremely annoying bug regarding date/time formats which has more or less been just vibrating in place since 2014 (yes, that isn't a typo, this thing as been open for 7 years and counting...) is maybe, kinda, possibly, hopefully getting some attention. Hope springs eternal.

Wow you are right this is ridiculous and I dont even know how I can support this bug being fixed, it already has over 1500 votes!!

This is the missing thing for me, how can I incentivise Plasma devs to go into a direction that I LIKE?? Becasue it seems the devs have completely different priotities than the users most of the time and there is a disconnect.

I'm grateful for all updates. I'm glad KDE shuts down faster as it used to take ages. I remember giving up many times and just holding the power button to force it. It's still risky as at least on my PC the monitor layout always gets reset. :/ And with it the panel layout changes in unpredictable ways. I use 4 monitors.

Also last time I checked Wayland I also found out that it doesn't let you open at cursor position https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=411681

Merry Christmas

It's not a bug, it's a feature that was taken away by Qt. I felt the pain back then, but learned to live with it. It's annoying, but fortunately not a deal breaker.

You're making a distinction without a difference. It's a bug, read the report.
