Plasma 4 *was* on Long Term Support for quite a while when Plasma 5 was born and for some releases along the way. In openSUSE we dropped Plasma 4 because continuity means *nothing* if no one can fix bugs. > bleeding-edge distros like KaOS fail to convince me that the "better > Plasma5" is not indeed the enemy of "good old Plasma4", to paraphrase an Again, blanket statement. How many distros have deployad Plasma 5 so far? Basically most of the larger ones. In openSUSE we even put Plasma master under openQA. n = 1 does not make a great sample size. > If the screensaver also provides session locking I'll start with making it a > habit to restart Plasma each time I get the screensaver glitch. It does, and IIRC the later 4.x versions also worked like that. Technically there's no screensaver, just a screen locker (the *community* on a KDE Community Forums poll decided that the interest in keeping screensavers was minimal). > open session.

SDDM is not made by KDE and it does support different sessions. -- Luca Beltrame - KDE Forums team KDE Science supporter GPG key ID: A29D259B
