This Week in Plasma: multiple major Wayland and UI features

Kde and plasma are so insanely great, and they just keep getting better.

Hopefully Wayland will work with my GTX 1050.... (please)

Still waiting on reliable headless KDE wayland remote sessions to make the jump to Plasma.

After strolling through blogs and forums, I still can't tell what I'm missing by sticking with SDDM+X11 versus SDDM+Wayland on Kubuntu 24.04 LTS (--minimal-install, so no snap for me).

This looks so good!

I'm happy about the dedicated animations settings page. It would be great, however, if we could adjust the animation speed of each one individually, though.
