I had no issues with playing it on KDE right from the start (of the native version)

I didn't specify in my original post but are you using Oculus quest 2 or the valve headset?

Good time to be a KDE Plasma user!
It stopped me from DE hopping after using MATE and Cinnamon and made me really happy!
I've been also enjoying Wayland for about a year now.
Now I just hope that future versions will have a Vulkan / Zink renderer support and a built-in virtual keyboard.

I just saw something that I can't unsee -- the smaller that wallpaper becomes the more it looks like the Firefox icon.

Login/Lock Screen

Fingerprint authentication is now incorporated into Plasma. You can also enroll up to 10 fingerprints and use them to unlock the screen, provide authentication when an app asks for your password, and also authenticate you when you need to run a command with sudo from the command line.

I feel dumb asking this question, but is that 10 fingerprints total or 10 fingerprints per user?

I'm already using it on Tumbleweed from the Factory repositories, there was a problem with Discover, which has been fixed today.
I guess it will soon arrive on the official repositories, by now I am using the wayland session permanently and I have not noticed any problems. They did a great job.
