"This Week in Plasma" brings the news that Plasma 6.5.0 will _probably_ have picture-in-picture support under Wayland, that you will be able to re-order your virtual desktops, and that Spectacle will clearly tell you how to stop a screen recording (among many other things).

Hello! I'm working with typst files, and would like to write a kate plugin to automatically preview them inside kate. However, the official guide has instructions only for plasma 5. Does anyone have a bare-bones plugin project I can clone and modify, or some tips on how to adapt the files in the official guide in order to work on plasma 6?

Thanks in advance!

The second maintenance release of the 25.04 cycle is out with many fixes and workflow improvements.

MA Barbe reviews KDE's contributions to the ecosystem during the State of Libre Graphics keynote at the @lgm 2025.

Although the whole video is interesting, the KDE section starts at 32:00 and covers the newest graphical features in #Plasma6, @Krita, @kdenlive and Glaxnimate.

I enabled the automatic login on Login SDDM

But now, every time I start my computer, kwallet asks for my password.

I kinda enabled the automatic login to not have to type my password, this kinda defeats the purpose of it @_@

No es exactamente un #ViernesDeEscritorio, pero tengo tiempo con la idea de donar esta vieja laptop a la Iglesia local.

Como lo más probable es que llegue a manos de alguien más bien acostumbrado a Windows, me incliné por instalarle @kubuntu 24.04 LTS en una SSD.

Me incliné por la aproximación de "Simple de forma predeterminada, poderoso cuando hace falta" de @kde y dejo un equipo limpio que cualquier persona pueda usar sin preocuparse por el #FinDe10.

This Week in Plasma brings the news that, with Plasma 6.4 little more than a week away, developers are hard at work crushing bugs and polishing the code.

In other news: The app launcher menu favorites and the networks list in System Settings are now keyboard-accessible, the Info Center’s Energy graph gets a smooth animation, and much more.

*KDE for Windows 10 Exiles*

Upgrade your software, not your computer

https://kde.org/for/w10-exiles/

In this post #KDE presents Plasma as one of many great interfaces available in #Linux, and they include some tricks for making the migration from #Windows 10 easier.

@kde @be4foss @kde_espana and @kubuntufocus support #EndOf10 to prevent #eWaste!

Thank you for pointing me to the start line! 😀 👍

KDE creates a safe haven for Windows 10 exiles.

In the context of the @Endof10 campaign, we have created a new "for" page, this time "for Windows 10 exiles":

https://kde.org/for/w10-exiles/

In it we explain how Linux with Plasma can help users escape the deranged cycle of having to buy a new computer every time Microsoft force-upgrades their operating system.
