<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The #1 reason that I cannot use Wayland is because I need complete headless rdp support because I have servers which provide rdp sessions for multiple users and because I have servers which have no monitor, keyboard, or mouse attached that I maintain remotely via rdp.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>GNOME has solved this issue with gdm + gnome-remote-desktop and it seems work flawlessly but I don't really want to switch to GNOME as I prefer KDE Plasma.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I know that it is one the list of things for the new plasma-login-manager.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I know many users that are in my same situation and without full headless rdp support it Wayland is a no go.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The KDE RDP is more like remote control or remote assistance functionality and not true RDP.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I hope that this is addressed before X11 is remove otherwise I will be forced to move to GNOME.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->...

Comment on A slight UX change in Plasma 6.4.1 by Oliver Beard

In reply to <a href="https://pointieststick.com/2025/06/25/a-slight-ux-change-in-plasma-6-4-1/comment-page-1/#comment-40390">yin</a>. <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The problem specifically is that the animation is cancelled when it goes from fading away (no windows being highlighted) to fading back in (windows being highlighted). This results in a jump rather than a smooth transition, which is the problem here.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This isn't triggered by alt+tab because there's no way to rapidly highlight nothing and then something again but because of the empty space between the thumbnails in the Task Switcher tooltip, it's surprisingly easy to rapidly trigger just by moving your mouse across them at a reasonable speed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I think the fix will be a combination of making the animation slower (150ms -> 250ms, too much and it no longer feels responsive) and of course fixing the issue which causes the animation to cancel.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->...

Comment on A slight UX change in Plasma 6.4.1 by Alexander Sanderson

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I'd like to think that the doom-and-gloom vibe about accessibility is actually a good thing because it shows that our community is starting to care a lot more about accessibility, and as a result is starting to uncover all the issues with it which were previously ignored. Now that it's getting more attention, there's a bigger chance that we can improve it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->...

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With thee default settings, there is no 'flicker' to be pedantic. It changes the screen at the same speed of pointer movement from one thumbnail to another. This can be fast enough to cause issue. The animation curve can be twicked, or a delay can be added if the effect is triggered once (first highlight). I'm not familiar with this effect impl though so likely I'm writing nonsense lol.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->...
