i wll just explain :
the team KDE ( dev) says always that they have fixed the bug , but it can go back few versions after , all distributions with KDE need to do a RC / Beta build before going in Stable
Well, this is Linux. Feel free to using something other than KDE. We have other choices available to us. 
We already have that patch
Sorry I replayed to @bero in a wrong tread, I do not want to create a mess.
Due to not have clue where to put my replay, I send bero a P.M
KDE never gives me any trouble. I must be doinā it wrong. 
And seriously, KDE is what makes my desktop a pleasant experience. Couple other DEs I could scrape by with, but they donāt keep me coming back.
It is interesting how perfectly slick KDE is with a good performing distro under it. OM is really good that way.

Same here ā Iāve been using KDE since its 0.10 release, never had any real problems with it.
Iāve tried just about every desktop there is (thatās how I got to hate gnome) - but KDE is the one I always return to. I also keep LXQt around for devices without GPU acceleration and to have a fallback while in the middle of a KDE upgrade.

Woahā¦ I bow to your superior antiquity! Also, Iām jealous. 
My first exposure was 2.0, random dips into 3 and 4, regular since 5 and now 6.
Been sitting here trying to think what trouble Iāve had with itā¦ my Fedora install just turned five years old and my PCLOS (up 24/7/365) is going on seven, and the worst I can remember are minor cosmetic defects with the Oxygen theme.
When Iāve seen disagreeable behavior, itās been distro-specific. Likewise performance ā people complain that KDE is āslowā yet both OM and PCLOS with KDE run rings around everything else, so itās not KDE to blame.
Yeah, same here! Well, I havenāt tried Cosmic yet. I try not to look at Gnome.
Clearly 
I do not know why Kde 6 does not update to new subversion for me. I just installed xfce so, at very least, Iāll stop whining about kde this kde that
I will show a screenshot or two in the desktop art thread on a forum. Take care people

I donāt worry about it. Do an update now and then, and whatever version arrives is the one I have.
Regarding KDE, I must really be doing something wrong. I had only had one problem, and I blame Apple for that issue.
What happened?
KDE Connect was released for the iPad. It worked. Until Apple in its infinite lack of wisdom decided to force an OS upgrade. Much like another big tech operating system. I let the KDE team know, and somebody did get back to me. They were unable to replicate the problem on their end. By the time they did get back to me, Apple had pulled KDE Connect from the App Store, but only for my particular model of iPad. The person from KDE asked me to see if I could replicate the problem, but without a working app, I was unable.
Why do I have an iPad?
Truth is, I have two. An iPad Air and an iPad 6th Gen. I needed them for work back in the day. As a truck driver, there were days when I had to sit around in a warehouse in the designated location. Laptops were not allowed because āthey interfere with the warehouse network!ā But cell phones and tablets were allowed.
At the time, the Qualcomm communication devices running Windows XP Mobile Edition were physically attached and hardwired to the trucks. I had no way to trip plan my next load while waiting for two or more hours because I arrived on time, but the warehouse was not ready, and I was forced to sit in the warehouse or not get unloaded. My choices were an iPad or something running Android. Because of my eyesight, I went with an iPad. Android simply didnāt have a display that could be used in harsh sunlight or poor quality warehouse lighting.
By this time, Microsoft had forced my company to stop requiring IE4 for their website for drivers. I was able to get in with Safari and get the load information that I needed to plan the next load, including final mile directions to the shipper. Back then, a driverās only valid tool for planning the route was a Rand McNally Professional Motor Carriers Atlas (large print, laminated edition (unless going to Canada)). I would go into a warehouse armed with my iPad, atlas, pencil, and notepad to write down what I needed. Back then, cellular service wasnāt guaranteed everywhere. But when it was available, use it. They could never figure out that I was using my old flip phone as my own low-power Wi-Fi router. Those old Kyocera flip phones that were supposedly built to military specifications were great. It would communicate where every other phone would fail.

I have some great news regarding finally getting my printer to work correctly. One of my complaints was that my Brother HL-2280DW printer that has always worked very well in Linux would not work with OMLx Rome. Out of the box the printer would only print a few lines scattered across the page.
Searching dnf for ābrotherā turned up ābrlaser.x86_64 : Driver for Brother monochrome laster printersā which sounded very promising, but fell on its face with duplex which to my horror I did not discover until I was speaking and turned to page 2 of my notes and was greeted with a blank piece of paper.
A few weeks ago I ran across a thread here on the forum where someone got a Brother printer working by installing system-config-printer-gui. This evening I finally got around to removing my prior failed attempts and installed system-config-printer-gui and am pleased to say that now my printer is working as expected. Iām not sure that system-config-printer-gui fixed the issue so much as the dependencies that it pulled in.
I know. OMLx ā {All of the various and sundry distributions that work with Brother laser printers out of the box.}
\o/
btw
How to configure printer in OMLx | OpenMandriva wiki
brlaser (for Brother printers)
system-config-printer is installed by default, system-config-printer-gui not sure.
If itās not installed, and it should be, then probably worth to add it to iso packages lists (or to add it somewhere as dep).
Will check.
PS>
Probably the various and sundry distributions that work with Brother laser printers out of the box get also bloated with hundreds of useless packages you will never useā¦ 
That guide wasnāt helpful for me. My printer is networked so powering it on and off doesnāt do anything. The guide seems to assume USB connected printers.

NO! This is bad, very bad for my printer. I know I wrote a wall of text, but I tried that and it has broken duplex functionality on my printer.
Oh for sure. Iām torn because on one hand I like it when my hardware ājust worksā but on the other hand I donāt like the bloat that comes with that. Probably the bigger issue is that for me brlaser was the wrong package to install and the seemingly unrelated system-config-printer-gui that I didnāt even use appears to have been the missing piece. 
Did you try this page? I was able to download a couple RPMs for my printer. I installed them, then set it up with the matching driver and everything worked well.
You are welcome to write a how-to mentioning your printer specs and how you solved the issue for the posterity
run that printer-gui and see what it is doing, it sounds like whatever default settings it came with fixed things for you.
I find this so strange. I have a Brother HL-2360dw and have had to reinstall it several times in the last 6 months due to me borking my system playing around with OM. It is on my network.
When I first got here they didnt have any Brother printer drivers so I just used the generic driver and it just worked. As time went on they ended up adding a bunch of Brother drivers but not mine. I installed a driver a model with the next lowest number than mine and it just worked. That driver is the HL-2250dn - cups+gutenprint v5.4.3
I just wanted to mention this so if someone reads it and says ānot for me - I have a brotherā because it doesnāt work that way for everyone. It would be really interesting to understand why it didnt work for you.

Has been going pretty good, but all my activity is web based.
Itās basically just a media box - Dell Optiplex micro attached to TV. Relaxing on the couch with a wireless kb/m is nice though, so itās sort of becoming my main home PC for browsing too.
My only gripe is Brave Browser often crashing & closing when launching. I can see that this matter has been raised here ad nauseam with no real solution as of yet.
How did you install Brave?
When I tried to install it using DnfDrake, it crashes. Time to uninstall.
When I installed it from the terminal using:
sudo dnf install brave-browser
It works without crashing. However, during the installation process, you will be prompted to approve several keys required by Brave. Is there a possibility of those keys not being installed properly or completely missing? Just a thought.
When I tried to install it using dnfdragora, I was presented with a long list of assorted versions. Being lazy, I was not about to wade through that list to find the correct one.
Brave in is one-click-install in om-welcome
