    These are some crazy big things!!

    Plasma-login is nice, has some very needed things

    Plasma-keyboard is essential for anyone on a convertible or even tablet, as the old maliit keyboard is abandonware

    The usb portal will be really useful

    Ocr support in spectacle! This exists on proprietary android but not AOSP, and on windows too. Really neat. I hope the integration is nice, this is a really big UI task.

      I’ll be so glad to ditch maliit, it isn’t responsive at all and gets pushed off the screen by a simple vertical taskbar. Even worse, it spams the journal with so much unnecessary debug info that I never found any way to turn off or filter out.
