Very nice.
I’m very excited, because in the past I have bounced off KDE development. Coming from a java and web background, the tooling and dev environment was just mindboggling.

Why do so many external entities care so much about constantly trying to reduce my privacy?
If they would not have started it, I wouldn’t have started to care.
Install literally every package from the repo, then you can experience breaking OS every day.
The most annoying ones for me personally, in no particular order:
tldr: nothing works - sorry for being bitter
I have reported and/or commented on existing issues when plasma 6.0.0 rolled out on arch and there has been no work on them as far as I can see.
I even asked in the matrix dev rooms.
They were not even triaged. So some describe the same issue multiple times. Check the ones which had activity in 2024:
I just hope they fix window rules
As far as I can see it is just Debian with LXDE, firefox ESR and some other packages preinstalled.
If they respect the license, you as a user can ask for the source code by e-mail.
But from my point of view, you can just install plain old Debian and all the same software and get a long term proven OS that will not randomly disappear and a huge userbase for support questions.
netcup as well
I am not sure technically, but even if possible it would be a nightmare of resolving conflicts manually, since a lot of system files are constantly written to and read from and it would mess everything up if syncthing is overwriting the file at the same time.
or 3 way with an always on server (like a raspi or cheapest VPS with just enough storage) so that you don’t have to have both computers on at the same time (thats what I am doing currently and it works great).
Thanks for looking deeper into it, I actually use a ton of the projects you’ve listed! It’s a dammn shame that the funding is going away. I guess we should try to follow through and write an email to the EU parlament as suggested in the OP article.
Here is a list of funded projects:
If anybody wants to look depper into their claim of “proven success”.
I browsed through it shallowly and didn’t find any project that I know/use, nor were the projects which I have randomly clicked on any interesting, when they had a working, usable result at all and not just designs or proof of concepts.
I know it sounds cynical, but I honestly don’t mean it negatively. I just wanted to look a bit into it because their claims seemed without substance to me.
But as I said I only looked at it very shallowly so far.
Well, it’s right in the name - National PUBLIC Data

I had some similar symptoms on a Fritzbox router, because by default the devices connected over wifi were unable to communicate with those connected by cable. Some routers also had this setting for the different wifi bands, 2.4G & 5G.
But I don’t think you’d be able to ping it if this were the case.
Check yoyr router settings anyway, maybe you’ll find something there.
Technically you are absolutely correct.
Practically, people need to get work done. And if they can’t do it on Linux, they will use another OS. No matter whose fault it actually is.
2024 still has 4 whole months and half of the current one remaining.
So I wouldn’t exclude the option that it still will be released in 2024.
I have one server running arch and 3 running debian.
So far they are equally stable after running for about half a year.
Autoupdates are turned on on all of them. Which I am aware is against the arch wiki recommendations, but the server is not critical, easy to migrate and has nightly offsite backups anyway.
PDF was a proprietary format controlled by Adobe until it was released as an open standard on July 1, 2008, and published by the International Organization for Standardization as ISO 32000-1:2008, at which time control of the specification passed to an ISO Committee of volunteer industry experts.
Let me be more concrete then. What I am used to is the following:
Every step is a button click or a entry field in a dialog. These steps also work on every major distro. And I wish for a similar experience when developing KDE Plasma.
For completeness, I will try to do the same dev things and list the steps for KDE Plasma development later (in about 8h).
