Maybe windows rules will now work properly instead of being buggy and delete themselves…fingers crossed Imho KDE is too big, there are so many cogwheels they miss the opportunity to actually polish each and every aspect.
e.g. why does KDE need a specific videoplayer?
MPV and VLC Flatpak both use Xwayland btw.
Clapper uses Wayland though.
never heard of clapper. Nothing is going to replace mpv for me.
Clapper is a GTK something GUI for MPV that doesnt look horrible ;D
To a “newbie”, what does this mean? I transitioned to Linux full time less than a year ago and settled with KDE. Will this affect me in any way?
If you are on Opensuse Leap, Debian or probably also Kubuntu (Ubuntu LTS), no it wont affect you.
Stable = unchanging bugs, not working packages.
On Kubuntu you may get it with “Kubuntu backports” but really just no.
If you are on Fedora KDE then you will have Plasma 6 in a few months! The same probably for Opensuse Tumbleweed, Arch, etc.
Just a bigger update, should be fine. AFAIK they did not do any major overhaul from a regular user’s perspective, but there are some pretty big changes under the hood. If you use a distro with regular releases, this will probably be included in the next one.
There where some changes though, different Dolphin icons, different and way better Panel changing, and more
Right, but that’s nothing compared to Gnome 2->3 or KDE 3->4.
Or Gnome 4.0 to 41! xD
The decision to adopt Chromium style versions was an interesting one for sure…
I mean some programs use 3.0 as stable, some have 3.15 or something as stable and 3.0 as alpha. They do what they do I guess
