    However, to keep the system as lean and future-proof as possible, the project has confirmed that it will not ship dual Qt5/Qt6 builds of libraries outside of KDE Frameworks. The KDE Gear 24.12.3 apps collection is expected to land, too, although parts of KDE Gear 25.04.x may be postponed due to the timing of release freezes and any potential library transitions required.

If I found out that a large multi-billion dollar company hired me because I was cheaper to hire, Id be extremely skeptical and think, Oh, this company just wants to exploit my people for cheap labor despite their ability to give us more money. [18:49] schestowitz[TR2] Doesnt that bother any Indians? Seriously, Im curious to know.
