From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The openSUSE Tumbleweed rolling release Linux distribution has begun rolling out the KDE Plasma 6.0.1, Gear 24.02 apps, and Frameworks 6.0 packages. Plasma 5 is being replaced within the Tumbleweed repository but openSUSE Tumbleweed isn't yet transitioning to the Wayland session by default.

Plasma 6 and Wayland are working great under Tumbleweed for me on my 2-in-1 laptop, but there's still no usable virtual keyboard package like Maliit in Factory.

Honestly, I don't like any of the wayland keyboards, I wish onboard still worked, but sighhh.

I'm just waiting for a good 2-in-1 Linux solution to come around. I don't have the programming chops to try and make something myself.

I'd love to have something like Gboard (maybe de-googled) that completely deactivates when in laptop-mode.

I don't even mind if it's Xorg or Wayland at this point.
