@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social kind of surprised with the telemetry about wayland usage, considering all the comments online about how wayland on Plasma is "still not there"🙄🙄🙄
anyway, happy Plasma wayland user for 2+ years lol
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Could you make it block PC sleeping? So only after copying PC can go sleep.
@nictakiego @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social +++++ yes yes
I would like more apps and KDE functions to not let the system sleep in the middle of things before they're done
@LiquidParasyte @nictakiego @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social
I think, the most persons expect to have a long running copy process to be finished before suspend, sleep or shutdown.
But a checkbox in the copy progress window to change this setting on each copy will be great.
@ulfi @LiquidParasyte @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I think a checkbox in settings at most.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Let’s hope Wayland sees improvements by Plasma 7 then. Plasma’s implementation is solid, but it’s still limited by the Wayland protocol and ecosystem, which are just deficient enough to me that I can’t happily use it.
Interesting, I'm super happy on Wayland with Plasma, what problems are you experiencing / what features are you missing?
For me it's two things:
Ohhh, that's what it is! I've used a multi-monitor setup recently and was wondering why (sometimes) windows position where nit remembered. Welp, seems like the bug report about this so still open in KDE and will be fixed eventually ...
@jlow I wrote a blog post about it a couple weeks ago with a list at the beginning: https://drinkybird.net/2025/03/back-to-x11/
I've also been using Plasma on Wayland with Nvidia with very little problems for at least a couple years
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social genuinely I love the vibe of these KDE screenshots, and I literally work on #windows
Very nice
