🤦

*Sigh!* Every time. Okay, here goes again: Gwenview, Dolphin, GhostWriter, Arianna, Tokodon, NeoChat, Itinerary, Discover, Amarok, Falkon, …

Oh! No no! Don’t get me wrong! I do not think Linux users are superior to Windows users, just that Linux as a platform is superior because it tends to respect users’ more, protects their privacy, often people developing for Linux tend to think about how to make their software more useful (as opposed to just more profitable), which in turn leads to an overall better platform for users.

It is a superior (as in “better”) choice for the people.

Why ironic? It should be clear by now that Linux is the superior system in nearly every way.

🏅 For best joke in thread 🙄

Correct, to our chagrin. But it is there. KDE developers actually worked on it and implemented it. See the linked video. It is only a few minutes long.

We’ll raffle one off at the next Akademy!

[Ed.: No we won’t. We aren’t even allowed legally to do that. But maybe come to Akademy anyway.]

Most, likely 95+% of users will never even realise. Hell, they didn’t realise when we switched them over to Wayland by default in Plasma 6. Even less so now with NVIDIA at last getting their act together, and devs having spent many human-hours in figuring out support for graphic tablets and so on. And even less a year from now when we have full feature-parity with X11.

You may be underestimating the competency and speed of KDE devs. These people are the effing top.

Will there be people who still need X11 a year+ from now? Maybe, it will be for really niche reasons though: very specific hardware (most most common tablets and drawing pads are already supported) or really old legacy software their company requires them to use.

Either way, there will be compatibility layers, distros and maybe even forks of Plasma with X11 support, so this is all a non-issue.
