You are completely right - plasma does expect OpenGL to do what is expected |
| 2 |
from the specs. I don't think GNOME pushes the limits as far. And I would |
| 3 |
use GNOME if it suited my needs - which I'm quite sure my last mail made |
| 4 |

Still, can't really blame plasma. That's like blaming a racing engine when |
| 7 |
it explodes on shitty fuel. The culprit is (unfortunately) Nouveau, no |
| 8 |
matter how much I wish it weren't so. And I wish it a whole heap. |
