Originally posted by mrg666 View PostPlasma 5.27.9 working so well, and asking myself how am I going to let it go. But I can't stop myself being excited about Plasma 6 either. There was news a couple weeks ago about Windows becoming a subscription service. Linux with Plasma and Wayland is so good now that I could just delete the Windows partition before that happens. Hmmm, maybe I should ...

But I still can't figure out what's going on with Discover. Devs clearly don't want to fix it. They don''t want to kill it. But they still waste time on things like
While a simple search in Discover is still fubar (has been that way for years and it will continue to be like that for the foreseeable future):

This could be such a great usability improvement.
On a sidenote, I haven't heard of any news regarding Wayland multi-touch touchpad gestures customization, I guess no progress on this? Sad...

3) Playing online games with friends who won't play Linux-friendly games :-)
I consider myself fully Windows-free, but I do keep a Windows LTSC partition around for these reasons (which I only boot once in a blue moon).

I've been using Plasma 5 with Wayland for ~1.5 years in my work laptop and longer in my daily driver, and the majority of gripes has been solved. The experience is smooth and functional to such extent I don't hesitate saying Fedora isn't too early on dropping x11.
By far, without any doubt, my biggest rage inducer with Wayland? Electron.

There are already distribution(s) that you install, add the alfa Plasma repository, and you can try.
Numlock on login screen
Isn't there anywhere in where hidden settings for Login Manager? I would like to turn on Numlock for login screen. I have SDDM. When I was looking for it, I found different levels where Numlock can be turned on. Just write a few letters in the config. But I would appreciate the settings in the click form.
So I thought. When the BIOS turns on my Numlock, is it turned on even when I enter a password in front of the boot?Last edited by Rovano; 05 November 2023, 07:49 AM.
