    Plasma ended up being my DE of choice a year ago. Native Wayland support, HDR and VRR, and general adherence to the same Windows paradigm for managing apps/desktop shortcuts made things easy. I don’t think that design is wrong, and it’s been plenty efficient. It was also the only DE at the time that seemed to be prioritizing matching Windows features where they were clearly strongest rather than trying to pretend Windows had nothing to boast about at all.

    Now, if we could talk about letting me enable display outputs without using the terminal that would be greeeeaaaat.

      Wait, Plasma has HDR support? I thought only really Gnome was that far the Wayland pipe that they had support for HDR?

      Being constrained by HDR support has been the bane of the last few days of moving to linux since Gnome causes me no end of issues, its simply very unstable in my system.

        Since the beginning of last year. Gnome didn’t have it at the time that I moved over, so it’s a surprise to me that it does now.

          Yeah, can confirm it works on Plasma and I have to say it looks real nice on an HDR monitor.

          The colors really pop!

      What do you mean by display outputs? Like what screens it uses? (That should be manageable with Win+P or the little monitor icon in the system tray.)

        I have a somewhat odd screen config and that doesn’t always seem to maintain my display settings. The only way I’ve been able to get it to maintain screen position is by just re-enabling the output through kscreen-doctor.

          Hmm, okay, maybe you want to report a bug for it not maintaining display settings, if you haven’t yet…

            I’ve been meaning to lol, but usually this happens when I need to do something and then I forget about it. I’ll make a note to do that later.
