When this was first installed as a development edition prior to release there were issues with power management in KDE, which persisted across two separate computers with different hardware configurations. After updating to the release edition and for some weeks afterwards these problems could not be resolved.

As soon as the computers were reinstalled with the new development edition (forky), all the problems immediately disappeared.

I think the question should be asked of how the Debian Project arrives at the conclusion that the released edition of KDE in its releases are sufficiently well tested to be of release quality, given that upgrading to a new edition is not likely to be achievable in a release because of the well known principles that the project has adopted to guarantee its famous level of stability and reliability. I understand that KDE does have LTE editions produced so there is the question of whether the Debian project is using or has considered using LTE releases of KDE.

Few people asking why the stadium buses are different from the regular buses and cost so much more.

  1. The regular bus services are operated under contract for a set number of services at a set cost. At night there are much fewer services operated because that's what the contract specifies. There is only so much money available to operate these services and adding extra buses needs more money.

  2. The stadium buses are commercially operated and are not under the regular contracts. To get a stadium bus service funded under the regular contracts means a whole process has to be followed, including funding to be provided.

  3. The stadium buses require bookings so they know how many buses to provide. This is quite different from the regular buses that don't require bookings. No one knows how much demand there will be for these bus services until they have operated for a while.
