Popis: We investigate an algebraic variant of the Wojty\'nski problem on the simplicity of Lie algebras of compact operators on a separable infinite-dimensional complex Hilbert space. We prove the non-simplicity of Lie algebras of compact operators under a mild softness condition using the notion of soft-edged operator ideals introduced by Kaftal and Weiss. We believe our study offers a new perspective on the investigation of the simplicity of Lie algebras by relating it to the study of operator ideals.
