    A gentle hint: If you suggest anything, you must be willing to put in the time to champion the task and carry out to completion.

    Also, do your suggesting here by following the instructions laid out in the blog post linked above.

    If you don’t do that, nobody is going to take up anything you suggest here.

    Make the plasmashell especially kwin stable, as its crashing a lot, and with wayland it’s taking whole session down…

    To the point I went back to Xorg

      Cannot reproduce at all on Fedora Kinoite. I havent had any crashes since a long time. None on Plasma 6 since the beta is over.

        I’d second Kinoite, it has been rock solid and really does feel next gen. Especially nice that Universal Blue extends its capacity, being just one rebase away.

    Unifying a few codebases, and make Plasma more modular.

    1. A minimal Plasma

    I think Plasma is the best desktop and suited for minimal installs on machines with like 2GB of RAM. Reducing the needed dependencies (currently working on that in Fedora) to the bare minimum. Making all the fancy desktop effects, animations, blur, transparency, floating, … optional.

    And yes, please also remove the default plasmoids from the needed install. Maybe keep the ones default in the panel. Maybe add a way to find them as “official plasmoids” which would help a lot.

    2. Merge parallel works

    Gwenview, Spectacle, Kolourpaint, digiKam all have image editing bars. The one of spectacle is pretty good, Gwenview and digiKam could be merged, Kolourpaint could maybe get an additional few things specific to the app.

      Merge parallel works

      Oh this is such a good idea. I think an approach analogous to ktexteditor (or the embedded konsole terminal in apps like dolphin and kile, too) would be amazing. Having the same editing expertise across Kate, kwrite, kile and other text editing apps is fantastic.

        True, the default plasmoids being critical dependencies is insane.

        Please make these plasmoids optional.

        There are some where other plasmoids use their code, like the weather applet. But apart from that, a comic reader??

    Fix multi monitor support, and windows opening up where ever the hell they want, and whatever size they want. I don’t want to have to make a rule for every single thing I use to apply initially size and position. 1/2 the time those don’t work anyways.

    I hope a previously suggested goal of improving KDE for organizations makes a comeback. It was basically all about all the things a business/organisation would need to roll out a fleet of KDE computers, mainly tools for remote / centralised management by an IT department.

    In the wake of Windows’s recent and continued trend, more and more public institutions, universities, government etc should be looking at switching away from Windows. There’s also EUs recent Digital Sovereignty Initiative.

      Germany is swapping to open source software for the last two decades. It just shows you how hard the process actually is.

    An option in the wallpaper settings to have the wallpaper span both monitors is like a dream for me. And if I knew how to code it, I’d start on it right now, but I’ll need about a year to learn and do it 😂

      Yeah this whole community Goal is nonsense. We just want our DE to work as intended. And after 20 years it’s still not the case.

        @Bro666
        Those are bugs reports and feature requests for all KDE applications including plasma and also including Kate, Yakuake, Konsole, Kmail, rkward …

        Not complaining here, but none of the bugs I ever reported or I’m following were addressed. To me this sounds like a good place to focus on, because these are issues that the community have faced or the suggestions they have come up with.

          Bugs are solved all the time. It is not a project for the community because the community already works on correcting bugs all the time. If the correction of bugs is not fast enough for you, we cordially and officially invite you to help out:

          https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved

          Remember: bugs are corrected by volunteers, many of which also have day jobs and other things going on. We are always understaffed. You can help.

            @Bro666
            Thanks for your invitation, then I cordially and officially invite you accept the KDE Invent (Gitlab) access which I requested months and months ago.

            It is not right to randomly throw such messages and accuse people of not contributing when the contribution is locked behind a login screen that needs approval and the access is never given. I mean you can, but it is, unethical and unfriendly.

            For now all I could contribute is by donating money (check the records, it’s public).

    Is there already an x11vnc alternative for wayland? That’s the only thing I need.

    We don’t want no fancy updates that will send us back to instabilities.
