Is there work being done for kwin 5.24.0? #124

or is there already a way to make the patch work with it

DarkWav commented 2 years ago

AFAIK tildearrow still needs to update kwin-lowlatency to 5.24. Some animations were majorly overhauled / added in kwin 5.24, so it's perhaps quite a bit of work to port this to 5.24 I guess.

Does the newest plasma break if you try and force kwin to the other version?

According to my testing yes, the window manager will fail to start if kwin-lowlatency 5.23.5 is installed alongside Plasma 5.24. You shoud either stay on Plasma 5.23 ore swap out kwin-lowlatency for the "normal" kwin package.

dang; I might have to downgrade then, games feel noticeably worse, when do you think this might be updated?

I don't know, most of the time it takes a few days, sometimes it can take months. You can try pressing ALT+SHIFT+F12 to disable compositing before starting a game, maybe that helps with your performance problems ;)

GanerCodes commented 2 years ago

I already have compositing disabled for games, its just the direct passthrough is what I need

The note on the readme says they don't have time, which is understandable

@tildearrow Thanks for your work again on this project. It was a good enhancement when I did used it. Are there any plans for kwin 5.25 ?
