| That's good, Jada. We ought to be seeing some of the recent issues we've seen getting resolved. I see that KHTML has undergone a lot of work and that is good. I am hoping that Dolphin and Plasma will also be improved more in the very near future. As things stand right now, KDE is working well enough that I am using it every day. The only recent issues I came across were that Konqueror was not always rendering correctly - and based on these reports, it looks like they are hard at work on those issues, and may have fixed several of them, and when you use a combination of Dolphin, Open Office, and Word 2025 documents, you can create scenarios that cause the desktop to either crash or hang. I have been able to avoid those scenarios, and other than that, KDE is performing quite well, not consuming too many resources, and it is responsive, usable, and is finally starting to behave the way I've been used to with previous versions of KDE. |

| From what I can tell, things are already improving; the issues I was encountering recently seem to be resolved, or at least I have been recently unable to replicate them. |
