Wed 2024-02-28 - Public release of Plasma 6.0
Already used it since first betas, glad to see KRunner changes and the way VRR is handled on Wayland. Still waiting for fullscreen tearing though
HYPE
it’s tomorrow??? i never keep up with any of this but i literally just installed endeavour with plasma 5 on an old laptop 2 days ago
unlucky lol
Endeavour OS is based on Arch and therefore a rolling release distro. So Plasma 6 should come with regular updates, right?
yup
Yes. It probably won’t be available for install tomorrow, but I’m hoping its a pretty seamless upgrade once it lands in the repos.
Speaking of seamless, I heard Plasma 6 is gonna come with Wayland as a default now. Do you think it’ll automatically switch you over or is it just for fresh installs?
it shouldn’t really matter for me anyway, the laptop i installed endeavour on is an old half broken hp pavilion that i rarely ever charge at all. i’m still excited to try it though
KDE Plasma is amazing.
I am happy that they do Wayland as default now, the Wayland experience has long been flawless for me. I wonder when this update will hit the Steam Deck, since gamescope is Wayland I don’t think Valve will go out of their way to enable X again.I can’t wait :3
I’m really interested. I’ve never gotten into the way KDE does things, so I’ve always stuck to gnome, but I’m always happy to see development and diversity in FOS Software. I’ll definitely check out some videos about it
I’ve been using kde recently and been able to get the workflow to be pretty similar to gnomes with a small amount of effort. Only thing I’m missing is when I’m in overview I don’t have access to the top bar or the dock.
Yes ! It’s been like 20 years since I last used KDE, but I’ll install this once it’s available in the arch repo, and maybe make it my daily driver if all goes well. I like GNOME but I like tweaking my DE and I’m sick of extensions breaking every other release.
KDE Plasma is bloat
no >:( everything kde is perfect
honestly yeah. KDE takes forever to start and the Klauncher and main menu are so slow they always open the wrong apps. It’s infuriating because otherwise it’s a competent DE with great customizability.
As a Microsoft designer, I can’t wait for this!
I didnt know but Ive been vibing on KDE’s stuff a lot lately
I’m in Feb 28th already, it’s not coming yet, where pama 6 >:(
Maybe it’s German time, since the organization managing the KDE project is based in Germany? So you’ll have to wait somewhere between 15 minutes and 24h + 15min.
I couldn’t wait, I’m already using it for that HDR support.
xfce my beloved
MY BODY IS READY
im really excited for It to hit the nix repos even though that could be in a while still.
