Phoronix: Experimental KDE Plasma Neon Wayland ISO Spin

Jonathan Riddell has released a new KDE Plasma Wayland ISO for those wishing to try the latest KDE development packages atop Wayland rather than the X.Org Server...

Does KDE have a frequently maintained todo list for Wayland? I have seen one in the past but I haven't been able to find one with a fixed link and is up-to-date.
I give Wayland a try every other KDE release. It seems to be steadily improving but I'd rather see what was accomplished and what else there is to do rather than blindly testing it out hoping something works the way I expect it to.

I would rip more hair out using Gnome than I would using X11 with KDE. Nothing against Gnome, it's a great UI, but it's not my cup of tea.

on plasma 5.8 it even doesnt let me change the resolution and the menu was too big, it's still lacking many important features

Hm, Neon just announced Docker images to try their stuff, but there doesn't seem to be one for this KDE+Wayland thing. At least not yet.

Here you go.

1) Wait for Gnome to clear the way.
2) Claim progress because of a non-tested Neon image that try to shoehorn Wayland into a Mir-based distro.
3) Leave Kwin unfixed with 90s style SSD.
4) Claim parity.

@1 GNOME did a pretty good job, that I can confirm, not my style of UI though. I'm not a Mac person.
@2 It is targeted at people who for some reason want to easily keep track of git-unstable branch. Since when is Kubuntu using Mir ?
@3 I wouldn't call CSD a big success. It just introduces more inconsistency to non GNOME setups.
@4 Yeah, whatever. Not sure if you are trolling or something.

Griffin is a well-known GNOME.. uhm.. supporter.

[starshipeleven]

Yeah like Schrödinger's UI. Gnome is too simple but built with too powerful CSD

Sounds like stuff written by dungeon. Hard to understand if you are not him, but seems like it is saying something intelligent and like it is supposed to be funny. Smileys for added fun.

Uhuh. Sure.

and the menu was too big,

If only they got around to implementing that feature that lets you change font sizes. Better yet, they could add different menus that you could choose from.

it's still lacking many important features

Do you have a specific list?

/s (if it wasn't obvious enough)
