I'm on Wayland on all computers. The main pain point I have with Wayland at this moment is the lack of session save/restore (remembering which windows were open and saving their state on logout, and restoring all on login). All of the computers are powered by AMD graphics cards and KDE Plasma desktop.

Beyond technical features: why we need to talk about the values of the Fediverse (part 1)

Great to see it comes with the very latest version of KDE Plasma 5.27.5 desktop
If libnotify package is not installed try installing it and see if it helps. I think I remember Gentoo warning about this in relation to notifications.
Yeah, I do, Some notes and some pictures
Damn so many great ones to choose from. I am big fan of Paradox strategy games, kinda in that order: Stellaris, Hearts of iron IV and Europa Universalis IV.
My top 3 best would be Widelands, Battle for Wesnoth and FreeOrion. But the ones that I play most of the time ae the simple quick games from KDE Games collection :)
Sure, it is based on Arch Linux with KDE Plasma desktop, so absolutely.
A friend of mine has upgraded his non-server machine with KDE Plasma desktop and so far is happy with the upgrade.
Indeed. I have been following news about RISC-V for about a year. Not very attentively but I like what I hear about it. Started to learn more deeply about it about a month ago when our colleagues at ESA started to talk a lot about it and using it even more. Anyways I think we very much need more freedom and openness also in the hardware departments and look forward to a day when I will be running a PC with RSIC-V CPU in it.
A couple of them. At home my main distro for desktop and laptop is openSUSE Tumbleweed. I like it the most since it is a rolling release (with fresh and up-to-date software versions) and they actually have some CI/testing setup so they do some basic tests of packages before releasing them and it is thus one of the most stable rolling release distros. On top of that they also ahve a system setup so that a BTRFS snapshot is done before and after each update automatically and a GRUB boot entry is added. In this case if something would go wrong with the update you can always boot back into old system before the update. Also they have one of the best KDE Plasma integrations.
In addition to this I also use SteamOS (Arch-based) on the Steam Deck, PopOS on my work laptop (would use Kubuntu but that is what they forced us to standardise on), and one machine I have is still running Gentoo. All are runnign with KDE Plasma as a desktop.
Basically how much more features it has and you miss in any other desktop. Especially in macOS, which we were forced to use at old company, I struggled with missing stuff and utterly stupid window manager. Yeah KWin window manager is especially nice in KDE Plasma. But also how much it has this LEGO-bricks like way of creating the desktop itself. All the desktop is basically constructed from small widgets and small widget containers which can behave in a very different way. So widgets (Plasmoids) are not only an addon to add to the wallpaper, they actually build up the entire desktop. And by this you can really make the desktop behave very close to what every individual person wants. Sure there are some presets that can emulate Windows or GNOME or macOS desktop, but yeah you can reconstruct that and have it your way. The similar story is there also with the apps GNOME/GTK versions usually just are to limited in functionality as far as my taste goes and I end up missing way too many.
P.S. I remembered another thing. Despite having more features and all KDE Plasma is also performing faster and is using less resources on the computers. So just another thing I like more.
Good. Abusive monopolies and already too big and too powerful corporations like Microsoft should never be allowed to become even bigger and more powerful They should be split up.
