@kde Any clue why the right click menu opens as a stand alone window the first time I right click on the desktop after not right clicking for a while? It opens correctly by the mouse every time after that but will open as a stand alone the next time there is some time between right clicking.
Unifying a few codebases, and make Plasma more modular.
1. A minimal Plasma
I think Plasma is the best desktop and suited for minimal installs on machines with like 2GB of RAM. Reducing the needed dependencies (currently working on that in Fedora) to the bare minimum. Making all the fancy desktop effects, animations, blur, transparency, floating, ... optional.
And yes, please also remove the default plasmoids from the needed install. Maybe keep the ones default in the panel. Maybe add a way to find them as "official plasmoids" which would help a lot.
2. Merge parallel works
Gwenview, Spectacle, Kolourpaint, digiKam all have image editing bars. The one of spectacle is pretty good, Gwenview and digiKam could be merged, Kolourpaint could maybe get an additional few things specific to the app.
Make Fedora Kinoite beta and nightly official testing Distros. It makes so much more sense to base off modern but tested packages, and to use an atomic distro for keeping the other issues aside.
But if you also need to support messy package based distros with their broken package managers, that is for sure problematic.
I used Elisa and found it quite unusable for folder-structured music.
I only used folder structures as I found no say so sync .m3u playlists including the music files between Android and Linux. Finding a way here would be great.
Merkuro looks so good! The previous calendar was unusable for me, but good KDE Software is really nice.
I wish the Akonadi stuff could run as a Flatpak runtime though, to support multiplatform. But I am not sure if this requires IPC or also native messaging.
