Personally I’m excited to see Flatpak become more widespread and usable, fixing some “rough around the edges” aspects of it. I’ve been using it quite a bit this past few months and I think it presents a really coherent, simple vision for how to do package distribution that solves a lot of pain points. The sandboxing functionality is critical and easy to use, I don’t need every app to have access to everything in my home directory.
I’m hoping for COSMIC to come out. It looks so promising and the fact that they implemented the panels using wlr-layer-shell is so great. I think more desktop environments should do this for interoperability
What’s so special about plasma 6? Currently on plasma 5 and like it. Don’t really know too much it can improve on besides reliability and the desktop being more usable and easy to use.
Now that they’re working on it, I’m interested in seeing how well Wayland in Cinnamon works. Hopefully it can fix some tearing and stuttering issues in my mixed refresh rate multimonitor setup.
Will also be interesting to see how the landscape with Windows goes, especially considering I’m picking up traces of discontent in their ranks. I think Valve’s actions will probably cause them to sit up and pay attention.
