Just to keep everyone in the loop here: this candidate has all known
blocker fixes, *except*
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1883609 . The planned fix
for that is a new shim build that is signed with a key that will not be
revoked, but we're still waiting on that to be built and signed.
We wanted to give FESCo the option at Thursday's go/no-go of deciding
not to block on the re-signed shim any more, so we did this compose.
The plan is to do full testing on it, and if that doesn't turn up any
other blockers, we'll decide whether to ship it on Thursday. So if
folks can please try to help get complete test results on this
candidate, that'd be great.
Thanks very much!

kwinft?
by Neal Becker
I see kwinft is available here:
Repository : copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:zawertun:kde
I guess this is an alternative to kwin. How can I try it out?
Thanks,
Neal

force use of X11 on wayland?
by Neal Becker
I've been trying wayland but I've run into one problem. Working from home,
I need to share presentations, and I prefer to share a window. If I'm
running chrome, it is using Xwayland (shows under xlsclients). I can't
share a window from a wayland client this way.
As a workaround, is there some way to force a client, such as okular, to
use X11 instead of wayland, so that it would be able to be shared in this
way?
Thanks,
Neal

Comments on fedora/kde on an HP Pro x2 612 G2
by Enrique Artal
Dear members of the list,
I have been using for a while the laptop in the subject and I would like to write something about my experience in case it may be useful for other users, and to ask for some advice for some small issues.
This laptop is a 2-in-1 laptop with touch and detachable screen. At the beginning it was quite difficult to use it with KDE, and quite usable with GNOME, fortunately for me, it is now more usable in KDE.
Most of the hardware works, besides fingerprint reader (not really needed) and webcam (this is worse, but there are ways to use a cellphone as webcam).
The rotation of the screen worked very well in gnome. In order to work with KDE, one can use https://github.com/dos1/kded_rotation. I wonder if it can be included in Fedora.
The qt virtual keyboard is not really very usable (much better in KDE), but OnBoard is useful enough.
Sometimes the physical keyboard stop working but detaching-and-attaching solves the issue.
Thanks for reading, Enrique.
