The KDE Goals initiative is working to improve support for input devices such as game controllers, fancy mice, handhelds — anything for your gaming needs.

This Sunday, Oct 20th at 18:00 (UTC), the KDE Goals champions will be answering your questions live. Post your questions here and I'll make sure they'll answer them.

We'll be streaming here: https://tube.kockatoo.org/w/2tAyknEQc8EhL2AyoAUE8M

You can get in touch with the community at the Matrix room.

Honestly I wish those developers would focus on the basics rather than esoteric input devices.

KDE isn't stable enough with a regular mouse and keyboard, let alone fancy input devices. It crashes WAY too often and has too many bugs which require the user to constantly have to use the terminal to work around.

KDE: get your priorities straight and focus on basic stability and usability first.

This is not my experience on an Arch system. KDE has never crashed on me

Might be hit or miss. On Kubuntu it wigged out on me often enough that I needed to make a shortcut to restart Plasma, but so far it's been stable on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

If your distro is packaging older versions then you shouldn't be surprised that things break. Tumbleweed is a rolling release distro
