I agree it makes sense to weigh pros and cons, thanks for your considerate thoughts, that's much appreciated. > 4. Most users do not even know what a VCL is.

But I tend to think that those using Plasma on Wayland currently generally are the more technically-oriented users that are more likely to find necessary information and more likely prepared to encounter some "challenges". (I'm personally trying Plasma on Wayland every few months and so far, I always switched back to X11 for my production work since I ran into issues. It's getting better every time, though, and with Plasma 6, Wayland will be the default, so that's going to change in the mid/longer run apparently.) > 5. I may be wrong, but I am getting the impression that either: the issue is > not easily fixable (...) >From how I understand it (reading Jan-Marek's earlier comments), it's indeed not easily fixable and requires not only work on the Qt VCL plugin, but also down deep in the central rendering code, which makes it time-consuming and also potentially risky to break other things and thus needs extra care. Of course, it might be possible that there's an easier approach that nobody came up with yet... > (...) or the developers working on the QT VCL have more urgent > tasks at this time (QT6, probably), so the issue is to stay for some time. I cannot speak for all people who might potentially want to contribute (new contributors welcome!) but at least for me, Qt-based VCL plugins are indeed something I have limited time available for, so I'm mostly focusing on things that seem either fairly straightforward to implement or particularly critical. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
