Slow-reboot SDDM bug fix may soon be upstreamed by KDE
There are dozens of threads everywhere about it since around early 2021. KDE will take over the SDDM project and that bug fix may soon finally be up-streamed.

sddm & wayland config
Thanks everyone for your time - installing xorg-minimal solved the issue; next version should solve the issue topic discussed in sddm github. I leave the following here just in case someone with skill & time comes across - seems a bit of love would not hurt sddm: https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/1471

Kubuntu changed my login screen
No, the picture shows that the login manager is still sddm, but somehow the login theme used by sddm has been reverted to the sddm default of the 'maui' instead of the 'breeze' theme used by default in Kubuntu. The package shipping the breeze theme (sddm-theme-breeze) may have become uninstalled, or sddm config changed somehow to not use breeze.

PCSX2 Disables Wayland Support

>remapping keys
>Use xinput to change parameters of their input devices (libinput dropped most configuration options present with evdev)
Up to the compositor.
>Global shortcuts
Also up to the compositor. Was added to xdp in https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/blob/main/data... so it's up to the compositor's xdp impl to provide it. It was created by a KDE dev so I assume KDE implements it at least.

Gnome developer proposes removing the X11 session
> - O proper screen recording support
Works just fine. I use OBS.
> - broken screen sharing
Never had any trouble with it.
> - No proper global keyboard shortcut
> - No push to talk support
On its way: https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/pull/711 / https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/#gdbus-org.free...
> - Several problems with multiple screens
Haven't had any more than on X11, but then again I do use Nvidia hardware on Linux.

The Guy Preserving the New History of PC Games, One Linux Port at a Time
It might help, but at this point Linux containers can't really stabilize the whole environment, especially for games. Particular pain points include accelerated graphics (which theoretically can have a stable kernel interface, but in practice is so complex and performance-sensitive that it's not stable enough to be a "reference platform", so to speak) and modern game controllers (which present a whole mess of concerns typically "addressed" in Flatpak by granting the device=all permission and hoping for the best [1]).
I also know a guy who ran into issues with a kernel update breaking a custom allocator, although I don't know the fine details. That wasn't for a game, but games also use custom allocators for various reasons.

Xdg portal hyprland and launching gui apps
