Well, if to you "GNOME" means "GNOME Software", then surely "KDE" can mean "KDE Discover".

it is one of many non-GNOME GUIs

there's this updated version with a Plasma 6 branch https://github.com/ALikesToCode/plasma-applet-eventcalendar/tree/plasma-6

might work

you need Plasma 6.0.1 and the latest git version of Klassy for blur.

No, it's been unmaintained for a while and probably won't be ported to Plasma 6 unless a new maintainer steps up.

There is no minimum market share threshold to discuss the way the software you use is being developed and PostmarketOS will not reach 4% in the foreseeable future (and it probably never will). Desktop Linux only just reached that threshold after decades of work and systemd arguments have been happening for years regardless. The conditions for mobile Linux are considerably less favorable. If we can't discuss systemd until 4% is reached, we can't discuss systemd ever. Which is fair, because the systemd horse has already been beaten to death at this point. But not because it hasn't reached some arbitrary 4% threshold. That makes no sense.

Faster to the fight for what? Wayland? Xfce doesn't even have a working Wayland session yet, so surely not. The new Plasma update is indeed being hyped for stability and Wayland. Wayland is finally ready to be used by default and that's a big deal. Many of the biggest issues with 5.27 have been fixed, which has improved usability a lot. HDR is also a big deal, people have been waiting for years for it to work on desktop Linux. Yes, there is also a lot of "eyecandy". People constantly complain Plasma looks ancient compared to GNOME, so they're doing something about it.

Yes, I'm well aware. Those are the symptoms. I just explained the cause.

Denuvo is actually very effective relatively speaking. Several popular games that use it have never been cracked. They haven't made it impossible, just sufficiently difficult and tedious that no one wants to bother.

[–] leopold@lemmy.kde.social 7 points 8 months ago

yes, but I don't use VMs or dual boot. I've been able to get everything I need working in Wine, which is a lot more seamless

Yes. KDM was dropped during the switch to Plasma 5 because it was very poorly maintained and no one wanted to work on it. Meanwhile, SDDM already used Qt5 and seemed very promising.

Firefox uses CSD by default, so that isn't an issue that can be fixed (unless you turn off the CSD in Firefox's settings).
