--- Comment #75 from Robert Strube <rstr...@gmail.com> ---
I've been thinking about this issue and how it affects the perception of
Plasma's stability (specifically with the upcoming 5.27 release).

I *do* understand that there are challenges with defaulting the Render Loop to
"Basic" when running under a Wayland session, and this approach comes with it's
own potential issues.  But, the alternative is having plasma crash multiple
times a day when using the taskbar.  The number of duplicate bug reports
related to this speak to how common this issue is.

As someone that has been running with Render Loop set to "Basic" for the past
couple of weeks with zero noticeable problems I think this would certainly be
preferable.  @nate has also mentioned that he is running with the same
configuration with no know issues.

I suppose when faced with two less than ideal choices, shouldn't the choice
that causes least amount of crashes and side effects be the one that's chosen?

The reason I bring this up again was that until I discovered this bug report, I
was getting consistent daily crashes with plasma.  It was to the point that I
was starting to consider switching to another DE.  After discovering this bug
report, and setting the Render Loop to Basic the problems have been resolved
for me.  This is fine for me, but I think we would all agree it's a terrible
user experience to rely on users discovering the bug report, parsing through
the messages, and solving it manually right?
