Wed 2024-02-28 - Public release of Plasma 6.0
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
(just realized i posted this on my alt on accident)
unlucky lol
Endeavour OS is based on Arch and therefore a rolling release distro. So Plasma 6 should come with regular updates, right?
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.
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
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?
My guess (and hope) is it’ll be just for fresh installs. That’s a big change and could break things for some people. But we’ll see!
I might give Wayland a try, but likely stay in X for a while yet. I have a little bit of software (like KeepassXC) that doesn’t quite have full Wayland support yet.
yup
It’s out right now but still in Arch testing.
Don’t know when MX will get 6.0 but I am excited despite not knowing what any of the new features are. All I know is Plasma looks beautiful to me and that’s why I like it.
HYPE
I couldn’t wait, I’m already using it for that HDR support.
I didnt know but Ive been vibing on KDE’s stuff a lot lately
Plasma is a MOOD. I love the vibe! XD
I can’t wait :3
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
Yes, as a Debian user I am very excited for Plasma 6 in about 1 1/2 years
as an arch user (btw), plasma 6 has already been installed from the future
As a fedora user im excited to have it in 2 months
btw I use gentoo
…haaaaa, couldn’t keep a straight face, nobody uses gentoo.
nervously glances at my gentoo daily driver and three gentoo servers
As another Debian user, I’m excited to get it in maybe a month or 2!
Debian testing?
Mostly, yes. Some unstable and bits of experimental mixed in.
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 use KDE but unless its really a huge change or disrupts my defaults, I probably wont even notice
xfce my beloved
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.
I bet it’ll be a while before it’s available on Steam Deck. So I won’t get to see it until then.
I feel you. I’m on Bazzite OS. :(
