I’m so glad that work is being done on session restore on Plasma. So many of my issues with Plasma have been fixed over the years, but this one has always been a big showstopper for me.
Kwin crashing and taking everything down with it is not something I want to happen on my work machine. Most of KDE’s bugs I could deal with, but not that one. Losing hours of work is an absolute no-go.
Session restore is probably the biggest thing that I’ve been looking forward to for Plasma 6
I’m still not sure it’ll become the desktop I’ll use all the time, but I’m wanting to give it a try again to see how it goes.
Ohhh jeeez Rick
Still no fix for the confused half-rounded, half-squared window decoration? Looks tacky.
They don’t work as well with Firefox, and with window decoration shadows. Also, rounded window decorations that are out there don’t do Firefox well. (I get that that’s also on Mozilla some).
Well, those sound more like issues that should be fixed. You not liking the way Breeze looks, is not a bug…
I wonder if you took all the development time that went into the fake way, and put it into the real way, would the real way be finished by now?
The “real” way needs the corresponding Wayland protocol in order to work. The protocol is under development/review, but involves a lot more moving parts that requires coordination and approval from multiple people. This “fake” way was able to be implemented faster and by fewer people as a stop-gap measure
Ah, Schrödinger’s desktop development.
Refuse to implement something until there’s a robust open standard to use it with, without hacky workarounds, a la Gnome? Get shat on for not implementing a feature immediately.
Implement something quickly, but in a hacky roundabout way, hoping a standard comes soon and you can phase out your sub-optimal solution, a la KDE? Get shat on for wasting time on a solution that will be short-lived.
