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.

They borked some features which I used and haven't fixed them yet.
Which ones?
I use the fullscreen start menu. I can't select search results with keyboard anymore.
Inverting window colors doesn't work for me anymore, after they set the default to wayland. (I used it for app's which don't have a dark theme)
Focus stealing prevention (global setting and window rules) doesn't work anymore.
window positioning guidelines keep flickering in and out of existence all day, even when I don't resize any windows.
3 has stopped working properly on X11 but it works on Wayland. The only reason I switched to Wayland. Of course, now I have different problems but focus stealing prevention works 🙂
Hmm interesting. I am on wayland for sure, but I tried to make it work for an hour yesterday.
How I noticed it:
I started an install process in pamac gui, then I tabbed to browser window and typed some stuff. Pamac finished downloads and asked for confirmation, the default being cancel and me typing ENTER cancelled it. Mouse was on the browser window and each app was on a different monitor.
I was able to repeatedly reproduce it by doing the same. I have set focus stealing prevention to high, which is described as focus only being stolen when the same type of window is active.
Is my issue maybe that both ran through xwayland? I'll have to check that later.
You might want to report these. In the last This Week in KDE, it says:
I mean, theoretically, this could mean that they decided these issues are a WONTFIX, but I imagine, they rather just don't know of them.
At least the two I care about most already have an open issue in the bugtracker, which I am following for updates.
I'll search for the other two when I am bothered enough and report them if they aren't
I'm really looking forward to upgrade to Plasma 6, but I'm afraid, that it's still to buggy for my daily use. I think, it has some UI improvements that are really nice, but I don't want problems with crashing (I'm just nervous about Wayland instead of Xorg) 🙄
