Plasma 6.0 has been released. Check out the new overview, improved colour management, a cleaner theme, more effects, better overall performance, and much more.
My son impressed his friends with wobbly windows the other day. Got to introduce him to the cube.
Not related, but why do most of the comments here have several user accounts tagged/linked?

A fancy new overview!
@[email protected] @[email protected] Can I use my Gmail account in Kmail now?
@[email protected] @[email protected] Apparently, the answer is “No, I can’t use Gmail with Kmail in Plasma 6”.
Booted the current Fedora 40 nightly KDE ISO. Using “Online Accounts” did not set up my Gmail account in Kmail. Kmail found the account in Mozilla’s database when I tried to create it directly in Kmail. I was led through a dialog that ended with a display of server info with a “Previous” and a “Quit” button. The account was not created. #KDE #Plasma6
I thought it was working years ago via IMAP. Is that not working now or do you mean using another method?
Google eliminated IMAP years ago in favor of OAuth and their API. Thunderbird kept up, I think. KMail didn’t
Im using my gmail account in kmail literally right now, what do you mean?
Teach me your ways, senpai. I’ve tried and couldn’t get it to work.
@[email protected] may have worked with Kmail occasionally in the past. I think sometimes that involved going back to your Google account and telling it to accept an “unsecure” app. To be honest, I wouldn’t do that for an email app.
Elementary has the same problem with its mail app.
Elementary has the same problem with its mail app.
Because the problem is Google not wanting third party apps accessing their service.
Edit: In other news, I just tried it and GMail works just fine with KMail. Setting up is a three step process and automatic most of the way.
@Bro666 I tried it on Fedora 40 with Plasma 6. Don’t know if it’s broken there or not. In any case, the account wizard repeatedly showed me a screen with only a back and quit button when the account hadn’t yet been created.
Also kept telling me I had set up 2 accounts and asking if I’d like to unify them.
Haven’t heard this one before, but it sounds like a trip to https://bugs.kde.org to me. Check if it hasn’t been reported. Maybe also check on Fedora, as it may be something going on there.
Thanks for your help!
Compiz and Beryl live on in spirit.
@[email protected] @[email protected] Sheen, this is the 7th week in a row you’ve reintroduced the desktop cube in class
Isn’t the desktop cube from KDE3? Something like 10 years ago?
@parens It’s been dropped and readded a couple of times during the late versions in the kde5 series due to wayland-related refactors. Or maybe just once and I’m mixing it up with wobbly windows.
Maybe wobbly windows 🤔 But I haven’t been up to date on windows effects ever since the cube disappeared.
LONG LIVE KDE!
Kdenlive will automatically let you know when there is an update available without even requiring an internet connection.
What? How? Will it check the local package manager database?
New versions of Kdenlive are released at regular intervals. When release day comes around, you’ll get a notification.
Makes sense, but I’m fairly sure that would be a February 2024 release :)
That would make sense…
@[email protected] @[email protected] I’m so tempted to move to Arch just to have it sooner
I saw its in their testing repos already
Fedora 40 also has it
This makes me reminisce about Sabayon Linux.
Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time. A long time.
@[email protected] @[email protected] hopefully this hits the @opensuse repos soon!
@kde @[email protected] The cube! 🧊😄👏
Let’s gooo! Can’t wait to install it
@[email protected] @[email protected] KDE, my beloved. Thank you folks for offering me one of the best desktop environments for linux. Only distro I get, I always want KDE. :)
@[email protected] @[email protected] they’re doing the goddamned cube again
Crazy how Fedora will get such a stable Plasma 6 when 40 comes out, nearly 2 months left.
I tested Plasma 6 on rawhide, reported a bunch of bugs and in the end everything was fixed.
