Thoughts on KDE Plasma as of right now

[Linux for blind general discussion]

I mean, all I really need is the apps being fixed, things like konsole, 
the various windows and programs and it's definitely useable. Dolphin is 
surprisingly great, I went in expecting oh, it'll be a pain to use.

No, Dolphin was quick, useable and responsive. The only show stopper or 
me, and I've not found a workaround yet, is that the QT5 windows and 
panels do not read, the irony of the accessibility panel being 
inaccessible is not lost on me, but I'm tempted to keep it around to see 
where it goes, and given the Steam Deck uses Plasma last I checked, 
here's hoping for improvements that get ported there too
