What Plasma 6 feature are you most excited for?

KDE and GNOME want to be full suites of software that offer a coherent look and whatnot.

Maybe windows rules will now work properly instead of being buggy and delete themselves…fingers crossed Imho KDE is too big, there are so many cogwheels they miss the opportunity to actually polish each and every aspect.

This release KDE has actually focused on improving and fixing more than just adding features

MPV and VLC Flatpak both use Xwayland btw.

Clapper uses Wayland though.

Maybe this time I can get blur behind semi transparent windows to work 🤔

Interesting, I've never had window rules delete themselves, am I just lucky?

I agree as well, but don't get the video player part. It shouldn't need a specific one.

Does it NEED a specific player or just come with a default?

Eventually valve will probably push a SteamOS update out with plasma 6. But it'll be up to then when to do it.

Just a bigger update, should be fine. AFAIK they did not do any major overhaul from a regular user's perspective, but there are some pretty big changes under the hood. If you use a distro with regular releases, this will probably be included in the next one.

If you are on Opensuse Leap, Debian or probably also Kubuntu (Ubuntu LTS), no it wont affect you.

Stable = unchanging bugs, not working packages.

On Kubuntu you may get it with "Kubuntu backports" but really just no.

If you are on Fedora KDE then you will have Plasma 6 in a few months! The same probably for Opensuse Tumbleweed, Arch, etc.
