…and fix that damn virtual keyboard for the desktop!!!
I dont get it. Krita doesnt even launch if X11 support is disabled.
Krita is a KDE Community project https://krita.org/en/about/krita-foundation/
Yes but doesnt support wayland yet. I dont get the post
Isn’t GIMP explicitly a GTK app?
Actually GTK is explicitly a GIMP library.
We don’t much take kindly to logic in these here parts, stranger.
GIMP is the original GTK app. The first version of GTK was created specifically for GIMP, and it was initially named GIMP ToolKit.
What was it, the G in GTK stands for GIMP, and the G in GIMP stands for GNU, and the G in GNU stands for GNU, and…
And minorly redundant to krita now.
Gimp supports wayland, Krita doesnt. So not at all.
Also plugin support is better with gimp afaik.
Pen support etc is way better under krita. They both have pros and cons.
Idk I tried a Wacom tablet on KDE Plasma 6.5 wayland, all fine, worked fine in GIMP 3 too with pressure sensitivity and all
Yeah, what’s the deal with the virtual keyboard!?
Apparently kde plasma don’t have a decent working virtual keyboard for the desktop.

At least for now. The new Plasma 6.6 may have fixed that.
You can install maliit but it will pull in the entire qt5 kf5 bloat.
I’ve been forced to use gnome on my school laptop as I need tablet support and kde dropped the ball on that front. I hate it so much, but at least it works.
6.6 will release a new keyboard, who knows. https://en.ubunlog.com/KDE-Plasma-6.6-Beta-Release-New-Features-Wayland-Login-Manager/
I really hope so, KDE isn’t perfect, but gnome is just so…weird…
No tablet here, just a large touch monitor, but haven’t had any issues. Tried to search but haven’t come across much, curious about your issues because I’m considering a tablet PC for my kids.
Care to share?
My school requires 2in1 laptops with stylus support (and windows😖) for all engineering students. I picked up a lenovo think book 2in1 to meet the requirements and have been dualbooting manjaro on a seperate ssd as it has 2 m2 ports. I use manjaro because im used arch which I run on my gaming PC. My work laptop has had manjaro using kde plasma for a while now and I generally really like it.
When I loaded up the lenovo with manjaro/KDE it worked great as a standard laptop but whenever I tried to use the stylus or touch screen things started falling apart. Tracking was OK with the stylus but I couldn’t get pressure or tilt sensing to work and the on screen keyboard was pretty terrible. I also couldn’t get it to work properly with a few programs I need specifically for school. I spent about a week trying to get it all sorted but I was never able to get a configuration that worked consitintly and smoothly. After a fair bit of forum surfing the consensus I was able to glean was that KDE was behind the curve on touch/stylus support but gnome was supposedly better suited to it.
I’ve now been running GNOME for a couple weeks and the touch/stylus support does work much better but there are still a few hiccups. I had to install a different on screen keyboard, the one gnome comes with worked fine except for the backspace key refused to function which turns out to be a pretty big problem. My biggest complaints though are with how gnome functions in comparison to kde. The file explorer, console, text editors, menu customizations, and layouts are a lot more frustrating and clunky feeling to me. I’ve swapped most of the original stuff with KDE version wherever I could make them work. Overall its not too bad now, just different I guess. Personally I wont be using GNOME in the future if I can avoid it. Hopefully KDE comes up with functional touch/stylus support so I can switch back.
That’s… Not what I meant
I find the virtual keyboard mostly fine, I’m annoyed with auto-rotation working only when it feels like. (I use a touch device)
Maliit is being replaced by plasma-keyboard which is supposed to be released with Plasma 6.6
Maliit is really abandoned, still based on Qt5
