What are you most excited when it comes to linux in 2024?
For me it must be kde plasma 6 and the wayland driver for wine.
Edit: I made the question gendered by using the word guys. I've fixed my mistake.

What's exciting about Plasma 6?
I'm a Plasma user, and I can't think of anything I want them to change.
Okay, it would be cool if there were more plasmoids. That's about it.
It’s not a revolution, but theres a ton of small features and quality of life improvements, but the big improvement is much more mature Wayland session with improved DPI scaling (fractional scaling), kwin crash recovery (robustness), improved latency in games, smoother cursor, UX improvements (I’m really happy they simplified some of historical UI clusterfucks), floating panel with intelihide and a whole lot more.
Plasma 5 has a loooot of bugs. I admire people that never find them. I reported like 60 already, and currently the fixes are only there in Plasma6.
That's what I'm wondering. I keep seeing all this excitement for it but I'm running the beta and it just seems like a buggy version of Plasma 5. There aren't any major new features and there are even less plasmoids due to an API change. Any time I ask someone what feature they're waiting for they never give a clear answer. I think most are expecting something bigger because it's a major version number.
More stability, better Wayland support, better UI without crazy inconsistent padding everywhere.
Plasma 6 might be what makes me give it another chance. The lack of visual consistency and the bugs were what was keeping me away, but they're fixing a lot of that.
Full Wayland support would be nice.
