Plasma 5 was released more than one year ago - so I'd not say it was
too early, Fedora even wasn't the first distribution that adopted
Plasma 5. And yes, unfortunately we lost some old Plasmoids where
theirs authors lost interest in it and did not rewrite it for Plasma 5
in that one year... I retired a few packages. But these were
unmaintained for years
i know that Fedora is not alone responsible, mostly it's a braindead
upstream not giving a damn about users and just when things start to
work smoothly make *incompatible* rewrites again and again
who which is right in his mind could recommend a Linux desktop to
anybody knowing that this happens regulary? Linux will never ever have a
marketshare because developers have nothing better to do than
incompatible changes and not care about users which just want to use
their computers and that point even affect developers whos time for
wokring on other software get burned down by having to deal with their
own basic setup all the time to get workflow back or adopt changed workflows
it just burns ressources left and right and no Fedora.next or whatever
is able to compensate that damage - period
