I think KDE developers underestimated it by a lot, so it likely means more.

I mean, KDE and Gnome (mostly Gnome) were the torchbearers of Wayland, so a lot of things needed to be implemented for the first time or even necesitated a new Wayland extention. Now that that work is nearing the end, Linux Mint can piggy back of of a lot of work from Gnome (see Marlocks comment) and look at other programs as an example, so it should be way less work.

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualI wonder how they will implement screen capture permissions. Every compositor seems to do it differently. I like GNOME's implementation the most; loudly indicating when the screen is being captured in the top right.

this might prove useful:

In my experience with Fedora KDE, it used to work sometimes with the videobridge, but with 39, video sharing works flawlessly on Wayland.

That's interesting. If only there were another packaging systen that also isolated packages that was actively backed by Valve and literally everyone besides Canonical /s.

Good effing riddance. This doesn't solve a lot of problems, but nevertheless a welcome change

Quoting: Purple Library GuyAnyone else get the feeling that lately, various projects that were sort of not bothering with Wayland, having a sort of "leave it till later" attitude, are finding that "later" is now?

Absolutely. It is probably because Wayland is reaching its critical mass. Gnome has fully embraced it and KDE has fully embraced it. Most if not all of its major flaws have also been corrected so there is really no reason to wait anymore. I am really exited for it because a Linux ecosystem where XDG Portals (Flatpak/Snap), Wayland and Pipewire are a stable base for all distros means that the Linux desktop is finally free from the problems that have been plagueing it the most. This being (imo): no proprietary app support, no single distribution platform, flaky audio, no good screen sharing support, gesture support etc. It also means that development isn't hampered by the fact that no-one is willing to touch X11/Pulseaudio anymore.

Quoting: GuestGetting KDE 6 in Feb? My birthday is in Feb! Coincidence? Yes.

I can't wait to take it for a spin. Though I still prefer Gnome, I love seeing what the KDE project puts out, good stuff.

Same here! The perfect birthday present!

What I don't understand, is why they won't just hire a few good developers and make the platform enticing for users: if they would have feature parity with Steam, I would be a lot less hostile to them. Money can't be the issue because EG store has been a money sink for as long as it has existed.
