I have a question about Plasma, and Linux DE more generally: is there a relatively easy way to get skeuomorphism through customizations? I lurk on r/unixporn but all I am seeing from big DE rices is material, material and more material; flat, flatter, and flattest. I am thoroughly sick of it.
Regarding KDE, I think the Oxygen icons and widget style are still available. They are somewhere between leather-bound notebook Apple and Google Material.
I love Plasma, was using it for years until the jankiness got to me. Used low latency patch for a while. Chrome for example can't run past 60fps in kwin.
I really think the future is more smaller desktop environments like LabWC etc.
Desktop environments like Gnome, KDE etc where they try to package everything you might possibly need in a desktop, but half the apps they provide are out of date or broken is a bad user experience.
Gnome for example has become impossible to change important settings such as mouse acceleration without also having gnome extensions installed. It's bizzare.

Nothing has happened on it since last September.
At least 5.24 is an LTS version so it's still receiving security updates, but it's still annoying, I want this new goodness :)
