I've had a short conversation with Antonio today and updated me with news that KDE Plasma 5.24 will be LTS. And the great news is that openSUSE Leap 15.4 (Beta) will have it. All dependencies are already submitted to SLE and we've received the green light even if some of the required changes to SLE would be after the feature drop deadline.

Wonderful, this is a big achievement for Leap 15.4! Thank you and the team for pushing this forward!

We're getting GNOME 41 this cycle too. For those keeping score at home: that's 2 for 2 on fresh desktop environments for openSUSE Leap 15.4. :) This will be a very exciting release, indeed. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth!

You'll also get Enlightenment 0.25.X, still needs some branding work so I guess you can make that 3 from 3 (if you choose to ignore the other 20ish that we ship in some form :-)). -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B

I'm only counting the ones that have said something so far. The ones that don't have their maintainers saying anything might as well not exist. :|

Oh that reminds me I should update e16 while im there. As for the other desktops if they are there and they just work maybe they don't need new versions or highly active maintainers. Some people are happy with how there desktops worked 10 years ago and don't see the need for new shiny features. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
