For me it must be kde plasma 6 and the wayland driver for wine.

Edit: I made the question gendered by using the word guys. I've fixed my mistake.

Finally, KDE is going back to having some nice bling after slowly removing it for years.

If now they can make kwin stable, I'd be so happy

Definitely COSMIC DE, can't wait to check out all the cool stuff they've been doing!

I'm hoping for COSMIC to come out. It looks so promising and the fact that they implemented the panels using wlr-layer-shell is so great. I think more desktop environments should do this for interoperability

Kde plasma 6

[-] HouseWolf@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago

I'm still pretty new to Linux so I'm finding new stuff all the time, I've been very happy with EndeavourOS but I am planning to switch to vanilla Arch when Plasma 6 fully drops. There are other distros that have caught my attention, they're just abit beyond my skill level currently.

Only thing I'm really hoping for is improvements to Nvidia (Yes I will buy AMD next time I get the chance, I built this PC before I had any intention of using Linux)

zfs raidz expansion

As a GNOME user:

A lot of development is ongoing in GNOME thanks to the Sovereign Tech Fund. I’m curious what that will bring.

Also hoping that the proposed tiling functionality will be implemented.

I'm looking forward to hardware and firmware hacking on a Framework laptop.

[-] voidMainVoid@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

What's exciting about Plasma 6?

I'm a Plasma user, and I can't think of anything I want them to change.

Okay, it would be cool if there were more plasmoids. That's about it.

[-] Pantherina@feddit.de 5 points 11 months ago

Plasma 5 has a loooot of bugs. I admire people that never find them. I reported like 60 already, and currently the fixes are only there in Plasma6.

Oh I know this answer! Not using Windows, right?

I am waiting for Plasma 6 too. Maybe it will ship with Fedora 40 🤔

I hope so

And I am looking forward to Ubuntu server 24.04

[-] foiledAgain@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

If Fedora would stop requiring reboots for daily updates that would be great. I might as well use windows for this kind of BS

You can just turn it off. It is the 'offline updates' setting in the updater settings.

Bcachefs, love COW files. I wish all file systems had it even if it naively copied the whole file on first write. Sort of a write safe hard link.

Better mainline support for RK3588 SoC

[-] const_void@lemmy.ml 5 points 11 months ago

What Plasma 6 feature are you waiting for?

[-] d3Xt3r@lemmy.nz 6 points 11 months ago

For me:

  • Ability for a panel to stay visible but dodge windows, for a dock-like behavior.
  • Better/customisable touchpad gestures (rumored)
  • HDR support on Wayland
  • Simultaneous password and fingerprint authentication
  • Decoupling of icons from the Plasma theme (so ALL icons are changed when you apply a systemwide icon theme)

I hope Valve will make the Index VR work again after breaking it with the 2.x updates in October :')

[-] hottari@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 months ago

Nothing much really. MGLRU was finally added this year to fix long-standing kernel OOM issues. Maybe some TPM stuff in systemd from Lennart. Maybe the pace of immutables will increase but who knows. Despite the occasional regressions am pretty happy with Linux.

[-] zaphodb2002@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago

Getting my Pinephone Pro up and running, and getting away from Google forever, finally. Also I'm gonna make the jump from Arch to either Gentoo and/or Guix, I think.

Hope Wayland gets more support and Fractional Scaling will finally work well.

[-] emly_sh_@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

Hopefully Wayland support for polybar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
