now would it nice if the ssh handover to wayland without any extra tools now a bit more supported, so the the “X11 over SSH” in the sshd.conf should more supportet, maby wit the compatibility to X11 or with the X11 bridge, because the calling of Grafical Programms in the Grafical Surface, should also works fine over the ssh, maby add a extra option in the sshd.conf: “wayland over SSH” as extra bibliothek for sshd for making it more easy to start in ssh connections a programm from a server and it’s popout in Plasma 6 if there Konsole or Term runs in a vicinity with Plasma 6…
By side, i at moment on a XP Icon-theme and W2K icontheme in SVG, where also can used in Wine or other OS’s, i am no group, i am an Man in Pension and have therefore enough time and wana push it up in the next couple Month… and the news about a better Displaing in Wayland sounds damn good and I hope that the the slanted edge on top in the XP directories, for example, will now be displayed less angularly when I look at the old icons in the old png in SVG images… well, let’s wait and see…
The XP-realSVG icon theme looks damn good in a VM! and I’ve converted and rebuilded many original icons to SVG with Inkscape as “Pixeled” with squares and elongated squares… and in W2K add a couples new Pixel-Icons was not have existet, like webcam and other icons and I hope that the icon themes will remain usable in Plasma for the next 100 years :slight_smile:

so, manny fun in Plasma/KDE and thank you for the News Nate !

Klipper using sqlite is nice, it being able to store both PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD selections without being forced to keep these two in sync (which essentially makes them useless) would be better. It’s one of the plasma 6 regressions that hurts my productivty the most.

Fractional scaling is already amazing in Plasma, - great to see it’s getting more love though! Keep up the great work!

@fusionfuture, I think you are the correct person to tag here.

Sqlite’s default journal mode is a known performance suck on CoW filesystems like btrfs. PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL; fixes it, and none of the downsides mentioned in the documentation seem relevant other than maybe the extra sidecar file, if you squint.

I poked through the code and didn’t find where the sqlite database is created, so IDK if this has already been thought of.

It’s the only screenshot in there; the one that’s all zoomed in.

HiDpi scaling is very relevant for me, it is therefore awesome to see that you took care of it in recent releases.

Also multiscreen support is good, but some more work is needed. Hope to see bugfixes thete as well.

I’m looking forward for this update! Thank you KDE team!
