My question: how does everyone on the KDE team continue to be so damn awesome? You guys put out a fantastic product with almost no funding, that rivals the corporate operating systems.

I just renewed my donation for this year, please keep doing what you do.

I had a chuckle with his description because "Redondo" translates to "round" in Spanish

With Wayland becoming the "Default" for most distributions now, will KDE begin to integrate some Wayland only features that you're excited about?

I've seem some very interesting experiments for swapping desktop sessions (GNOME to KDE to Sway whole CSGO was running) all without losing state, and storing application state to disk.

Are you planning to continue plasma mobile blog?

[-] HankB@fosstodon.org 3 points 7 months ago

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social

I see what you did there. Many thanks to all of the devs, document writers, testers, bug reporters and so on who make this happen.

I'm excited to see the results!

Since I'm on Debian Stable, that will be years from now. πŸ˜‚ My consolation is that it will be highly polished by then.

(I may figure out a way to explore it sooner. πŸ˜€ )

#DistroSea might be some place where you soon or later can test it.

If you encounter a bug, proceed to https://bugs.kde.org, check whether it has been reported.
