Running Plasma 6 since beta 2 and it is running very stable for such a hige change to Qt6 and in such an early time, Almost no problems now with RC2. So this is shaping up to be an awesome release, even better than Plasma 5.0 release. Kudos to KDE developers (and Qt developers also i guess).
Yup couldn't agree more. Qt is the most productive and one of the nicest GUI framework I have used during my programming career. Used it from C++ and also from Python (PyQt). And on top of it it is also the best I have used when it comes to very good native OS integration (looks, behaviour...) when you need cross-platform support. GTK+ yeah not nice, I am trying to forget it just as all those Java GUI frameworks. Terrible experience.
Is there a Qt app that looks great on Windows? Breeze is awesome when on KDE, but I don't remember a single Qt app that'd actively look good on Windows.
I would say there are several factors. Qt itself is a very powerful and feature-full framework already offering a lot as a base. So by reusing it and building on this base KDE developers can focus on additional things. And even on top of this KDE developers are very good at creating their own KDE Frameworks providing additional abstractions and common code that all KDE applications can reuse and also provide a lot of consistency/integration between them. Finally KDE is also one of the biggest FOSS projects (I think it is the second, right after Linux kernel) so by having so many people and using the best in class GUI framework is what makes it possible to create so many powerful apps.
Running it as a daily driver from a little earlier than RC1 came out and it is very nice for a pre-release code. No major issues. Very excited for the final release in a month or so. This is shaping up to be even more awesome than Plasma 5 release.
This is not about SteamOS at all. GOG installers (and other DRM free methods) do work well with Wine - and with old Windows computers, no doubt about it. The question is about saving the older computers than, SteamOS itself requires a 64-bit processor with at least 4GB of RAM.
Modern Linux requirements are higher than older Linux distributions too, so there is that.
But does it remove spyware/tracking/surveillance? In fact spyware should be removed without any discrimination based on paying or not for it, otherwise it still breaks GDPR privacy laws.

Nope. They should make money without spying on users and abusing their privacy. If they can not do it, then they should not exist, simple as that. Basic human rights should not be taken away in no case.
No, that's not how it works. You can't do illegal things to someone on the basis that they consented. You can't go around killing people saying "well they were fine with it".
Similarly, Facebook can't be building profiles for people when that's illegal, whether they consent to it or not.
