Anyone notice non-obvious Wayland road blocks?
I think the last thing keeping me on X11 is window shade.
-
Mine is that the "fake session restore" hasn't landed yet (it will in 6.1) so the half-dozen konsole and dolphin windows I tend to leave open between reboots don't re-open after rebooting under Wayland.
The reason it's called "fake session restore" is that the Wayland session restore protocol isn't finalized, so as a temporary workaround Plasma on Wayland will re-launch the applications and leave it up to the individual programs to restore their last state.

Window shade?
-
As described at https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kwin/kcontrol/windowbehaviour/index.html#titlebar-actions
Shade
Causes the window to be reduced to simply the titlebar.

Not really. I was a heavy critic of the state kde was in because of fractional scalling sucking a lot, but I've been using it on 2 pcs and am now pretty happy. Does everything I need it to.

Tried the live CD of KDE Neon last night to test the HDR support. Couldn't find a way to enable it. Windows? Just flip a switch...
-
There's an "Enable HDR" checkbox in the "Displays & Monitor" part of System Settings. Of my two monitors, it only shows up in the configuration of the one that supports HDR (makes sense).
-
Neither of mine support HDR and I still get the option.
-
Didn't show me despite my monitor having support.

If you want windows, you should not use Linux.

👍🏻

My desire to remain in a frozen-release stable distro conflicts with my desire to follow KDE's bleeding edge development
Yea the hype train is real on that one :)
I solve that the following way:
On my private machine, I use arch with the newest features.
Work related I am using debian testing on the laptop. The packages are not the newest but I know everything is stable and upades are not in my way. (KDE 6 will arrive there late summer)
On my work/school machine I run arch but don't update as frequently lol
Have you heard of KDE Neon? Wikipedia says:
I would not recommend KDE Neon. Qt applications (like Calibre) sometimes have problems because they're taken from Ubuntu(?) repos but Neon ships their own Qt libs which can cause conflicts.
