KDE software is so great (digiKam, Kdenlive, Kate, Krita) unfortunately the KDE environment compared to Gnome is just so bug-ridden, especially when it comes to multi-monitoring, wayland-support and scaling. Gnome shines in these respecst. I wish thebest of both worlds!

My experience is totally the opposite. In fact, at work we are now migrating many of our computers from GNOME to KDE because we are really tired of GNOME's bugs (and it's "too simple to the point of being useless" interface).

The grass is always greener!

I can assure you that there are plenty of bugs on both sides :)

I don't really have problems with multi monitor and KDE.

Multi-monitor works well for me but I have one annoying issue which is that one line of pixels bleeds over the edge of one monitor into the next.

I wish there was photo management software which catered to non-enterprise multi-user environments. ie families, or small organizations where the photos (and database) would reside on a computer, but other users on their computers could access it via the local network. At the moment, this middle ground doesn't seem to exist. It's either single-user only photo management software or full-blown multi-user digital asset…

PhotoStructure is absolutely designed for self-hosted family-and-friends access of local photos and videos. You'll get installation instructions emailed to you shortly after you subscribe to the beta. https://PhotoStructure.com (Disclaimer: I'm the author, and wished the same thing you did, so I quit my job to build it).

Just read your first blog post, I signed up. But +1 for the screenshots on your website, it does not work as an illustration of the product.

Any chance the website could show a screenshot or something? It’s just a generic thing right now and I have no interest in signing up to something I can’t see.

Sure, I'll add some more prominently.

https://photostructure.com/about/v-0-8/ has several.

I added one on the home page, too.

Indeed there are. We use CentOS, I have been testing CentOS 8 for several months without problems, and suddenly the numpad and special keys like Alt stopped working for KDE programs. Why? I don't know :/
