Yeah, about that...

Let's not hurry 5.8.1, ok? Apparently no one at KDE uses activities anymore. Huh  Over at Neon stable the upgrade appears to have trashed any systems using anything more than the default activity. Angry
OMZ, that's bad!! Can you pls provide more details, or give a link for me to follow? It seems especially incongruous that the KDE devs might have stuffed up Activities, given the big controversy that's been raging in the community for the past year or two(?) about their unfortunate decision to remove KDE4's individual VD widgets & wallpapers in moving to Plasma5. Indeed, i'd previously read at least one of the devs justifying this on the basis [in part] that [in my words] "we should all be using Activities anyway, not VDs". For me, whilst i still force myself to give Activities a fair go, they are nowhere near as useful, logistic or productive as multiple VDs used with the Show Desktop Grid function. Amazing.
