With the caveat that some wallpapers are less wonderful than others, I'm a +1 on doing this for our LTS. Other opinions? > Use Ubuntu font instead of Noto Sans > - https://phabricator.kde.org/T7848 My answer on this one depends on our international users. Noto has an amazing range of support for other languages that don't use the American/British English alphabet. I don't believe that Ubuntu has anywhere near that. I think our users in India, Russia, Japan, China, and Korea appreciate the character support. I'd like to hear from them about this, so I suggest posting this link on Kubuntuforums, and the Kubuntu User list, at least. > Turn off Translucency effect when moving and resizing windows > - https://phabricator.kde.org/T7855 Please comment on the phab.
