    Plasma 7 is being renamed Desktop For Plasma365 2027 edition.
    Everything is electron apps. Native apps are ran as web assembly inside an electron app.
    There will be no UI, only a shitty AI chatbox that is always suggesting results from askjeeves (and takes 5 seconds before it suggests anything from your local machine).
    Oh, and it’s a monthly licence now.
    And it’s actually just a laggy local UI of the actual desktop that is ran in the cloud on a container with 512mb ram and 1 CPU.

    Oh wait, this isn’t microslop.
    Good things on Linux (generally) stay the same or get better, not different so “line goes up”.
    I think I’m still getting over the windows PTSD

      I’m expecting a fully streamed experience - compute offloaded to datacenters, beamed to your device via a swarm of satellites that block out the night sky, with an emphasis on a voice controlled user interface.
