    A friend switched to Linux yesterday on a new build and grabbed the kde spin of fedora at my recommendation. Fedora 40 dropped x11 on kde so there’s been a good bit more hassle getting things working than there should have been. Hopefully developers move fast on support.

        Discord screen share isn’t working, I think screen recording wasn’t working, she had some issues getting steam to not crash. We both use input leap at work so waiting until 6.1 for that support to hit. Just a bit annoying to get rug pulled. We both use fedora 38 on our work machines so there was an expectation that things would work the same, I think it’s overall a good change in the long run, but in the moment it’s very disruptive.

      You probably know this already, but X11 hasn’t been dropped completely. You can still install what you need from the distros, and then the X11 option will be present and correct in SDDM.

      sudo dnf install kwin-x11 plasma-workspace-x11
