Banning vpns is an authoritarian move for a country. No matter which country.

I’m pirating because its free, I guess that makes me an asshole.
It does for me. For some reason my touchpad has really high scroll sensitivity with libinput. It’s borderline unusable. The only desktop environment that exposes the ability to change this sensitivity is plasma Wayland. AFAIK there’s technical reasons it can’t be done on xorg without hacky workarounds. This is the killer feature for me.
In addition both plasma and gnome only have 1:1 touchpad gestures on their Wayland sessions. Obviously I could use third party tools for trackpad gestures under x11 but those aren’t 1:1.
Also while I’m aware that fractional scaling on Wayland is a mess and hacky but I still find the fractional scaling implementation on KDE Wayland to be the best, followed by KDE on xorg. I need fractional scaling for things to be appropriate sizes on my laptop screen.
For my desktop I still use x11 because of nvidia but I would definitely benefit from the multi monitor improvements under Wayland since I have two monitors of differing refresh rates and it causes issues.
Tbh that’s a pretty horrible example. It was a rushed product full of graphical glitches, including rapidly flashing lights. This is true especially on the switch. Idk if it’s improved since launch but shit was rough early on.
Assuming this is college, requiring students to pay for software is part of the norm.
Look, it comes down to the fact that as far as I know, the vast majority of KDE developers are volunteers with their own lives. There was a given explanation for why it hasn’t been fixed, it was complicated code that was hard to maintain. Its not as simple as someone writing code to reimplement the feature, the feature also needs to be maintained which is a lot of work for a project with so few resources compared to proprietary projects that can afford to pay hundreds of full time developers.
People requesting that feature to come back are just kind of rude about it, skipping out on basic manners. Personally if I were a KDE developer I wouldn’t want to work on a feature after all that.
Damn the people on that bug thread act so entitled for volunteer’s time.
I started using Chromebooks in elementary school and my school used them all the way through high school. I can confirm that the majority of kids probably have no idea how to do anything outside of chrome and the google suite of apps since that’s where the majority of our digital literacy curriculum focused.
Those repackages of libreoffice packages are actually official.

These versions are free software (as in open source) but there’s a small charge to cover the effort of putting software in the app stores, and to help develop the software (and build our communities).
Where is here? You never said where you’re talking about.
