    Maybe windows rules will now work properly instead of being buggy and delete themselves…fingers crossed Imho KDE is too big, there are so many cogwheels they miss the opportunity to actually polish each and every aspect.

    e.g. why does KDE need a specific videoplayer?

      KDE and GNOME want to be full suites of software that offer a coherent look and whatnot.

      Maybe windows rules will now work properly instead of being buggy and delete themselves…fingers crossed Imho KDE is too big, there are so many cogwheels they miss the opportunity to actually polish each and every aspect.

      This release KDE has actually focused on improving and fixing more than just adding features

          you commented :

          why does KDE need a specific videoplayer?

          I have not seen anything that indicates KDE requires a specific video player. So I was asking does it NEED a specific player or just have a default that it is installed with?

            ‘Need’ as in why do they need to stretch their development resources to cover a video player when they’re already stretched thin and perfectly serviceable alternatives exist.

            I have no actual idea, but that’s what was meant. My guess is they want everything written in Qt6 so it can all be portable to windows etc.

            Idk, I wish I knew a solution, but researching didn’t bring me anything. But it has come to the point that I feel KDE is not worth it anymore for me. Just didn’t have the time to switch some wayland WM.

      I agree as well, but don’t get the video player part. It shouldn’t need a specific one.
