I'm actually thinking of switching from Kubuntu to Fedora KDE just so I can get Plasma updates faster lol

Add the backports ppa, that's what I do. Currently on Plasma 6.5.4 on Kubuntu

But will it autoconnect to Wireguard VPN?

@BlackLaZoR @schnurrito That is not a function of a UI - that's a function of NetworkManager (or whatever network stack your distro uses).

As for WireGuard - it does that automagically across all platforms and all network stacks I've used it on so far - so if it's not doing it for you, then you got something screwed up somewhere else, deeper down.

Pretty sure you can already do this

Except it doesn't work. You can set the option in the connection manager, but it will fail. Hopefully this gets fixed in 10-15 years

Huh, I accidentally set mine up in a way that worked once. I do not remember how though.

UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 235d

Uhm, I did do that and it did work

Yeah, the VPN thing is so basic. Why does it bother to tell me that the VPN’s dropped after I wake my laptop up, just reconnect.
