KDE Plasma 6 goes Wayland by default, initial HDR gaming support

Quoting: slaapliedjeShouldn't it be the distribution, not the DE developers which determine if Wayland or Xorg will be the default? I understand when Fedora said they were going to use it by default, or Ubuntu, or whatever. But KDE?

Seems odd to me.
All software comes with default configurations, including desktop environments. Distros can change them if they want, but for those that don't Wayland will be the default.

Comments have been cleaned up. Won't be discussing why but I'll be clear on this again: we really don't appreciate stupid far-right conspiracy crap on who is behind funding. Please don't go there and any other comments on it will be removed which includes referencing my comment here. Please continue on as normal, happy Monday! :)

Quoting: dpanterNice changes, but making the album art smaller and the download button bigger is the opposite of improvement IMHO (unless the images are reversed).
Nope, images are correct and yeah that doesn't particularly feel like an improvement, the buttons are way too big and you actually now see less of the list.

Valve reveals Steam Deck OLED for November 16th

Quoting: BlackBloodRumThe question becomes, will they continue to support the now old, obsolete Steam Decks?
The 256GB model is staying as LCD so yes, and the software behind them is largely the same remember (minus the extras for the new OLED ofc).

Quoting: LanzLiam, I thought you were boycotting X? That didn't last long!
As per the update on the article you’re referencing, the issues were reversed. I still don’t like X or Elon but for now it is a valuable tool and I continue to steer people to alternatives. Anyway, that is nothing to do with this article 👍

They actually updated the full patch notes to mention FSR 2.2 now. Was weird it didn't originally note it.
