The phoronix article misses what makes the project important:

Konsole is very intertwined with the older of the two user interface tech stacks in Qt, QWidget. QWidget typically renders using the CPU, and so does Konsole. Newer KDE software (including Plasma itself) typically uses Qt Quick and benefits from GPU acceleration via Vulkan or OpenGL instead. This is what Kwi does as well. For certain terminal applications the performance gain (3x-35x faster than Konsole depending on what’s being benchmarked) can make an actual big difference in the user experience, but generally it should also help reduce battery usage.

I know at least one developper who chose to use libadwaita instead of Kirigami because QtQuick didn’t have a good terminal widget.

It was kinda long so i just used ai to summarize it ~/j~

I use a instance running continuwuity and every new/experimental feature in the client works

Agree, the information in those servers are already functionally public, and ought to be easily viewable

Yup, totally different, continuwuity and synapse are the main two, and although there are others, they’re just less good.

The commercial implementation is also open source, but there is a a proprietary version aimed at large enterprise customers that adds better optimization for very large deployments, and better auditing and moderation tools.

See here for all the servers, clients and bridges can also be viewed from there: matrix.org/ecosystem/servers/

Not really, it’s like building your own furniture, cool, but far from practical and not worth it for most people.

The only way it would help the cause is by decentralising a service that’s mostly on one host, like bluesky, but that’s not a problem on lemmy, and the main advantage can be done by switching to a more niche instance (lemmy.world -> lemdro.id / bsky.app -> eurosky)
