arandr replacement: wdisplays
- Plasma 5.21 is out and this time we have improved its looks and usability: there's a new wallpaper, an easier-to-use application launcher, a new system monitor, and much more.
- Can sway only use the primary display by default?

Installing Plasma-Meta 5.25.5
My approach to managing Plasma keywords is by pulling in the KDE overlay. The kde overlay manages keywords files that can be symlinked into your own package.accept_keywords directory.
-
about switching to ~amd64
That doesn't matter. What /u/Gualdrapo is talking about are the files contained in Documentation/package.accept_keywords which you can symlink into /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords to accept "unstable" versions of Plasma without having to manage the list of packages yourself.

kde-frameworks/prison-5.82 have been masked
If you are interested in having the latest plasma, you might consider pulling in the kde overlay. Within that overly there is a "Documentation" directory with automatically generated packages.accept_keywords files that you can use to accept ~amd64 for entire categories of KDE (this is what I'm talking about here. Create a symlink to those files in /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords, and then you shouldn't have issues.
-
Do you recommend enabling ~amd64 globally?
My preferred GUI environment is KDE Plasma, and I like having the newest version available asap, and I imagine on most of my systems, Plasma makes up the majority of my keywords. If I managed those keywords directly, I might be in your same position, but I take advantage of the package.accept_keywords files available from the kde overlay to unmask the appropriate version of kde-plasma/kde-frameworks/kde-apps. This means all I'm doing is updating a symlink when kde plasma 5.23 comes out. for example.

The kde overlay is useful from that perspective in the sense that they have pre-made keywords files in their Documentation directory that you can link to in your /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords instead of having to manually keyword the individual packages yourself. Makes things a lot easier. This is the directory I'm talking about on the kde overlay on their git mirror.
