KDE Plasma 5.24 Released With Wayland Support In Increasingly Great Shape

My point was user data goes under the user's home. I could be wrong, I don't know how fingerprint authentication works.

I am not an expert either but

fingerprint linux data stored

on any search engine will tell you tons of stuff ;-)

It looks like system is using FPRINT ( https://fprint.freedesktop.org/ ) under its hood

Never doubted that for a second. Now that I'm off work, I may even check it out myself.

I saw vr headset support so this begs the question....can we play half life alyx on Kde yet?

No, no, no. The only question is: can it run Crysis?

I’m in fear about what effect got eliminated this time.

This isn't gnome.

This isn't gnome.

5.23 lost the **CUBE**, Cover Switch & Flip 3D window switcher. The last two are back in less elegant implementations but the cube is still missing. And I am afraid about this new "Overview" effect in the end replacing the current Kwin workspace overview with its macOS UX, which may be better for notebook use, but way worse for power users on the desktop.

Yeah we're gonna fix that in Discover for 5.25.

I am curious, any estimate (or just an educated guess) on when Plasma 6 will happen?

Nice update working well here other than Info Center's Wayland info doesn't display anymore due to a broken $PATH. Haven't had a lot of time to poke around much.

No idea really. I'd say not within a year. 1.5 years minimum. 2.5 years max.
