Google does this to a lot of developers, arbitrary decisions, with often little to no recourse.It’s the same story on YouTube, most recently with @geerlingguy and his video on installing LibreElec, a totally legal endeavour that does NOT depend on or promote piracy.
He got it restored in the end, but I doubt he’d have managed that if his channel hadn’t been the size it is.
I wish I could entirely liberate myself from Google, but when it came to choosing between a Pixel phone + GrapheneOS or the hyper ethical and sustainable Fairphone 5, I had no choice but to pick the latter. So, I’m still tied to a 🤬 Google account.
I hope GrapheneOS will consider supporting the Fairphone range of phones at some point, as they offer even longer support than Google does for their Pixels, making it an ideal and stable target platform.

Thanks! I wasn’t aware of that one, installing it now.I see it uses #Transitous, just like KTrip, which is nice to see.

Like KDE Itinerary (one of my favourite KDE apps, together with KDE Connect), KTrip keeps getting better with every release.Even though I’ve got both KTrip and Transportr installed, my go to travel planner has been Öffi for quite some time, because of its fabulous timetable display. I need to break my habits and make KTrip my sole app for a while.

I’m running @EndeavourOS on my 2011 MBP without any issues. Have you tried running any lived distro to see what hardware works and doesn’t work?

Tuxedo OS is Ubuntu based and runs Plasma 6. Maybe worth a look?

Some things just don’t work properly on Wayland. For example, #NoMachine remote #Plasma desktop sessions connect, show a white screen, then disconnect. Switching to an X11 session solves the problem. This is a showstopper, so I’m sticking with X.Org.
