What Plasma 6 feature are you waiting for?

d3Xt3r,

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 am waiting for dynamic buffering and variabile refresh rate being both merged in mutter. Wine on Wayland is also pretty exciting.

That’s already here with systemd 255 which released recently.

That’s the joke

I want Proton to evolve to the point where my CAD/CAM software works flawlessly.

I’m trying to adapt to FreeCAD, but I have so much muscle memory invested in Rhino that it feels like being a beginner again.

bcachefs in mainline. It’s going to be fun.

Is it actually any good? I’ve seen some benchmarks that were not very promising but perhaps that’ll change in the future ig.

Moving beyond linux mint to other distros so I can learn more and have a more customizable linux experience.

I got fed up with windows 10, and then windows 11 pushed me away from ever wanting to use windows again.
Linux mint has been fun but its a bit too barebones when it comes to customization ( though that's one of its strengths since its so easy and straightforward for a longtime windows user to move over to linux)

Also I've had a bunch of trouble with Nvidia drivers and playing new games in 2023, so I'll probably buy/build a new linux desktop in late 2024 on AMD CPU/GPU.

More Wayland adoption, more protocols and desktop portals, color management and HDR getting closer, even better gaming

NVIDIA getting its shit together maybe?

asexualchangeling,

NVIDIA getting its shit together maybe?

That truly would be the year of the linux desktop

herrvogel,

I think the teams that are responsible for bringing proper HDR support are moving slow and waiting for HDR to get its shit together, as right now it’s a poorly standardized dumpster fire of various protocols and definitions and implementations. It’s still a bit of a pain in windows and macos despite the fact that official support exists already.

They just broke xwayland on my gpu so i’ve been forced to return to x11, bit of a backwards move

azvasKvklenko,

Gosh, NVIDIA literally pays just one guy to do the entire Linux support

milkjug,

At this stage I suspect its just 3 kids in a trenchcoat.

Given the recent pace of NVK development we probably won’t have to rely on that for much longer in 2024.

@LainOfTheWired@lemy.lol avatar

I haven’t tried it yet so anyone tell me if there are serious problems with it, but you can have a separate partition mounted at /home with your home folder so you can keep all your files and config files between distros

Oh wow I didn’t realize he repeated ‘developers, developers, …’ 666 times on that event.

And here’s a customary video of metalhead nerds celebrating.

    Interesting, the Flatpak is laggy for me.

    theshatterstone54, in What are you most excited when it comes to linux in 2024?

    Work in Cinnamon on Wayland, Plasma 6, XFCE 4.20 for Wayland support, WINE on Wayland, The Fancy Hyprland-like effects coming to Qtile Wayland, basically everything Wayland.

    Potajito, in USB webcam lagging only in Zoom?

    Probably the web app works better than the native app. Also, try the flatpak if you still prefer native, it’s better than what’s on the repos imo.

    It does work better for me in general. The video is no longer slow… unless I start using a virtual background, then it gets really sluggish. (Firefox.)

    @beejjorgensen@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

    I also run Arch and have this same problem. I dug in for a bit, but found nothing. :( Webcam works perfectly well in all other circumstances except Zoom.

    Ubuntu 24.04!
