From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This all seems very reasonable, it seems like the plasma team made the right decision to remove semi-broken / obsolete parts, but Unsplash removal because of AI scraping is a bit disappointing.

Shame about khotkeys, but I get it.

Thank you for the reasonable communication, it helps.

It's being replaced by another tec that does use Wayland. All functionalities will still be there

[–] Andy@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

I'm skeptical that ALL the functionality will be recreated. We'll see.

Plasma is amazing. It has been my DE of choice for years now. So happy I'm donating to the project.

Can't say that I've really used any of the features mentioned in this list, so doesn't really affect my experience negatively. Also, updating some icon sets to fit with the overall theme would provide a more unified experience. So two thumbs-up from me for removing code that, by & large, wasn't getting used, should help maintaining it in the long run.
