Any toolkit comes with a small startup time penalty, but dolphin's is off even compared to other kde software.

In general spamming input events at unnatural pace (i.e. connecting a hacking device disguising as a keyboard, most rooted Android phones can do that) might cause issues and if the screensaver crashes you have access to the system.
(Naturally, it goes without saying that the way lock screens are implemented in X is abhorrent and a sure-fire recipe for an unlimited source of future security holes. The lock screen should of course be in the server, as it is in wayland.)

Way to test: open it on an empty directory - it's the same delay. Also dolphin already lazy-renders thumbnails, so that's not it.

I like that they changed the default desktop mode to "Folder view" like other sane desktop environments.
I like to have the freedom to put whatever I want on the desktop (files, folders, shortcuts to files, folders and programs).
I like the virtual keyboard in login / lock screen, this is very useful for me, because I have a few keys missing on my laptop's keyboard.
It seems that Windows 7 already has this feature on lock screen, but the virtual keyboard will appear only if you had it open before locking the screen.
Congrats to KDE developers for these improvements and for listening to their users!Last edited by Danny3; 30 May 2017, 07:48 PM. Reason: Added that Windows 7 already has the virtual keyboard feature on lock screen

Is the new volume control thing from kmix or is it something else? I may consider installing it on my LXQt setup, assuming it doesn't want to install the rest of KDE with it...
As for Wayland, it's been steadily improving after every release. I currently find it "usable", but the experience certainly isn't perfect.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I doubt that you can run in on LXQt.
What's wrong with https://github.com/lxde/pavucontrol-qt ?

They've been doing videos for a while now. And I'll agree, they beat the pants off any release notes.
I can connect smb from Krusader just fine, so I don't think it's the KIO slaves. At least it's not a general KIO slaves problem, it could be a distro specific one? Fwiw, I'm on the latest Kubuntu.

I had the same problem. The easiest way to fix this and get better performance at the same time is to mount your share via fstab. For this you need cifs-utils installed.
1. get your user and group id via the "id" command and remember it (usually uid=1000 gid=100(0) depending on the distro)
2. create a directory somewhere and change ownership to you i.e.
Code:sudo mkdir /mnt/nas && sudo chown user:group /mnt/nas
3. add an entry for each share to your fstab that looks like this
Code://IP.of.the.server/shared-folder /mnt/nas cifs username=USERNAME,password=PASSWORD,users,iocharset=utf8,uid=YOURUSERID,gid=YOURGROUPID,file_mode=0644,dir_mode=0755 0 0
Code:sudo mount /mnt/nas
I hope this helps you.
Cheers!
