David, Nate, Josh, Marco, Carl, and Niccolò are here ready to answer all your questions on Plasma (all versions), Gear, Frameworks, Wayland (and how it affects KDE’s software), and everything in between.

Fire away, Lemmy!

We were expecting to be done in an hour and we have past the 2-hour mark already! Time flies when you are having fun.

Thank you for all the questions and the welcoming and friendly atmosphere, but the devs must get back to making Plasma 6 great.

Please keep the conversation going and KDE contributors will continue to answer over the next days as time permits.

Thank you all!!

    Is there a dedicated page tracking updates specifically to KDE Connect?

    It is part of KDE Gear, so generally in the gear release announcement. The last few releases were not that big in term of feature but the next one includes some goodies.

    Does Connect use BTLE?

    KDE Connect will have the Bluetooth backend enabled by default with the next gear release (24.02). I’m not sure if this is BTLE or normal Bluetooth.

    Could you guys implement an auto tethering option between phone/PC?

    No idea :(

    How instant are notifications synced?

    For me it is pretty instant. I never miss my Bereal notifications thanks to it :)

    Do notifications disappear on one side or the other when viewed on one or the other platform?

    Yes

    Maybe implement a “link to KDE” notification toggle to mirror the “link to windows” functionality of Android?

    No idea :(
