5.16.90 compatibility? about kwin-lowlatency

[tildearrow]

Work in progr-

[tildearrow]

Finally!

[tildearrow]

I'm so sorry but 5.16.90 will not be possible as the 5.17 tars are already out...
5.17.0 will be available though as soon as they release it.

[tildearrow]

5.17 will be a re-write since most of the code breaks in that version. And I don't have time right now. Sorry...

[Vistaus]

No problem, mate! I understand. Hope you'll have time again at some point though 'cause I can't imagine Plasma life without kwin-lowlatency 😺

Agreed! I can't use plasma without kwin-lowlatency or wayland anymore. And wayland is just too buggy. Maybe roman's patches will solve things, but they seem to be a ways off.

Ah I couldn't figure out why my desktop was so broken when trying kde-unstable, I remembered I was using this today 😄

The kwin-lowlatency 5.16.5 binary I published in my OBS repo works just fine with Plasma 5.17beta.

[Vistaus]

@KAMiKAZOW Yes, it does. But that's NOT the issue here: the issue is that kwin-lowlatency currently doesn't work with KWIN 5.17

The port to KWin 5.17 is still a WIP.

[Vistaus]

Woohoo! Who da man? You da man!

[KAMiKAZOW]

Currently updating the openSUSE package. Hopefully dependencies or so didn't change much.

Create one yourself. I did for openSUSE. Wasn't that hard.

PPA/Debian packaging concept is too difficult for me to understand and get working right...
