KDE Changes This Week "Overflowing With Positive Visual Changes"

[bug77]

Maybe this release is the one that will finally allow me to switch to Wayland. That said, even if KDE solved its own issues, other programs I use may still not work properly on Wayland.

Yeah, my cue is when I log into Plasma and see the taskbar rendered incorrectly. If KDE's own stuff doesn't take a minute to break down, what are the chances other apps will work? When two of the biggest offenders are Chromium and Firefox, there's no point in using Wayland

I've found that running Teams and Slack in a separate browser tab group is a much better solution than the apps, which always lag releases and need updating. Also, much better memory wise. With the new Teams audio calling support coming this month for Firefox it should be even better.

Yeah, the missing firefox support made me use an "app"/flatpak. I am glad I soon can get rid of that.

Yes, the gestures will be configurable. A UI to do so is being worked on right now.

Great. Thank you

It's more of a rhetorical question, but I'm asking ot anyway.
Will it be possible to configure the gesture to open the overview effect with a three-finger swipe instead of a four-finger?

It could have a similar cause, but for me it's this one: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=450679

Still waiting for that nasty crash with monitor going to sleep in Wayland session to be fixed before switching to it. That's the main deal breaker at the moment.

A little bit offtopic but does Kwinft work? Manjaro officially support kwinft package but it doesn't seem to work. After login in I just get kicked back to sddm screen.

Yeah, it does, although I haven't compiled it myself for some time now (here running on Debian bookworm/sid):
