Finally updated #Fedora 33 on my laptop to #KDE #Plasma 5.21.1

I used this COPR repo:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mkyral/plasma-unstable/

#KDE Plasma 5.21 was released:

This week in KDE: KWin gains direct scan-out, and Gwenview gets a lot of love

Impressive number of improvements, I can't wait to upgrade my laptop to 5.21 (on my desktop I'm already using KDE built from git head so I can help with testing).

#KDE's "first class support for Wayland" is quite underwhelming: the session crashed within the first 5 minutes of testing, and then I realized that I couldn't even logout because the logout function doesn't work. I can kill kwin with ctrl-alt-backspace, but it restarts!

Well, I guess I could start reporting bugs instead of bitching here... 😒

What small konveniences do you miss in #KDE?

KDE's new year resolutions look all good to me 👍

Whatever #Weston comes up with, it will have to be implemented by #GNOME, #KDE and other desktops before it's useful. Probably, it will need some integration work for #Flatpak, #Snap and #AppImage.

Ah, finally this annoying bug in #Plasma Discover was fixed:

#KDE

btw... I use #ArchLinux...

...which doesn't force you to reboot, but leaves your system in an inconsistent state where your kernel doesn't match the installed modules... #KDE apps can't load KFile libs... and a number of other glitches.

All I had to do is update wine-mono with protontricks:

This will probably become unnecessary in the next update of #Proton.

ah, #KDE #Plasma 5.20.3 landed on #ArchLinux 😍

Wow, it's already packaged in #ArchLinux

The new package is called plasma-systemmonitor, and the binary is called plasma-systemmonitor, but it's just "System Monitor" in the start menu.

#KDE #Plasma 5.20 announcements in several languages are pouring out from @kde, but where are Italian 🇮🇹 and Japanese 🇯🇵 ?

Yesterday I went to the #Plasma room on Matrix to report a memory leak in plasmashell, and the developers suggested I try running it under heaptrack:
