6.1 isn’t out yet, and I can’t wait for 6.2 already.
Genuinely feels great to be hopeful about some parts of technology/software like this. I eagerly look forward to an update from KDE and sometimes GNOME.
Compare that to Google, Microsoft, any other public big tech, I start to just question why I’m not living in the forest as a new member of a Bigfoot extended family.
Every update on Google or MS: Oh god please no.
Every update on FOSS apps, Linux: Give me more daddy.
Gnome updates are like god playing dice.
Has anyone tried to port Plasma to Windows and the. Killing the windows UI in its favor?
No idea, but I do know that if Window’s main UI freezes/crashes, the entire OS will follow as well. I’ve sometimes had to force quit the file manager and that made the UI crash as a whole.
It just gave up trying to read a folder I downloaded off the internet, so I told it “Hey fine, if it’s such a big issue, I can read and grab the contents on my phone, and give you what you need.” and killed File Manager, and that made my wallpaper go dark, the task bar disappear, and most OS-wide commands die. I had to force shut off with holding down the power button.
And they called Linux a cancer…
Luckily, in most linux distros, and macOS, you just kill the offending app (like Finder or Nemo or Nautilus) and you are still up and running.
Hey KDE Team: 😘 ❤️ Please don’t ever change!
Oh good. 6.1 seems to fix the only bugs that have personally bothered me. I’m stoked!
I’m weirdly excited about password-less lockscreens.
How would that work? I couldn’t find it in that post.
I have seen it mentioned elsewhere, such as https://www.phoronix.com/news/Plasma-6.1-Last-Minute-Features.
Was hoping to see a fix for the right click menu randomly deciding to open as a window.
Hey, we worked at your airport for 4 months last year
