Quoting: tmtvlI use 2 monitors with Plasma 6 every single day and it works like a charm, but that is with AMD graphics and Wayland. I do not use workspaces though, so no comment on that.Quoting: legluondunetHow is KDE plasma behavior today? Is it enough stable for a daily use and gaming ? How is it resources consuming ? I prefer light DE and keep resources for gaming.As long as you have only a single monitor it's more-or-less fine. If you have multiple monitors it's kinda garbage. I've also noticed a bug where after running an application which would under X11 disable compositing, under Wayland it disables the blur effect and it doesn't get re-enabled. But yeah, I'm using 2 monitors and I just have to use Awesome because otherwise the experience is crap (workspaces switch on both monitors at once, applications have a bad habit of opening on the wrong monitor, applications don't reopen in the same position,...).

Quoting: no_information_hereIt's not immediately clear, but they don't exactly hide it either: https://www.sovereign.tech/faq [External Link].Quoting: BrokattI had to google it. Apparently it's a german federal tech agency.Yes, my first question was Sovereign to which country?
It would have been great to have more context:

Even their website avoids saying anything about Germany on most pages. Weird.

Manjaro Linux want your system info with their new data collection tool

As for the telemetry, it doesn't have to be all bad. Telemetry is important for devs to improve a project and like someone earlier in the thread has said, most people that don't care won't opt-in and the ones that do will opt-out. If they make it a clear toggle which is on by default and the data is non-personal, I don't see the issue. We're talking about PC specs here, not address info.

Quoting: dpanterIn the Netherlands this is the case as well. Why would it be a human rights violation? You're not alive anymore when they do it. You can also always opt-out and this is widely known. The problem is that most people forgot or didn't bother to opt-in, which was costing lives.Quoting: CZiNTrPTIn my country real organ donorship is opt-out and that's right approach as wellWhich country is that? Sounds like human rights violation to me.

Quoting: reaperx7At the rate they keep messing with and changing stuff for Wayland, we could have had X11 fixed up by now and modernized.. 🙄Absolutely not, because nobody wants to touch X11 with a tem foot pole. Wayland was started by X11 developers because they were sick of it after all.
