I think it bridges a gap between windows and Linux I wasn't really searching for. It made me really happy to have my wallpaper engine wallpapers, and for it to frankly just work. I've had some issues with it on my friend's computer, NVIDIA GPU. This comment on the issue in Github helped, though it didn't fix it, which we're waiting on a bug patch for that completed fix.

I think it bridges a gap between windows and Linux I wasn't really searching for. It made me really happy to have my wallpaper engine wallpapers, and for it to frankly just work. I've had some issues with it on my friend's computer, NVIDIA GPU. This comment on the issue in Github helped, though it didn't fix it, which we're waiting on a bug patch for that completed fix.
User, twinaccount: "This happens because when opening something important, kwin opens a new descriptor, which exceeds the limit and kills the plasmashell process. The default limit of 1024 FDs is very low; it fills up in about 34 seconds (depending on fps). As a temporary solution, you can raise the limit to 65,536 descriptors and also reduce the fps, which will slow down crashes (30 fps will give about 36 minutes, and 20 fps will give about 54 minutes). To do this, create a file in the directory ~/.config/systemd/user/plasma-plasmashell.service.d/limits.conf and add
[Service] LimitNOFILE=65536 That's all I can help with. (Do I need to apologize if I said something wrong or if this doesn't help?)"
