This Week in Plasma: multiple major Wayland and UI features
This Week in Plasma: multiple major Wayland and UI features
Welcome to a new issue of “This Week in Plasma”! Every week we cover the highlights of what's happening in the world of KDE Plasma and its associated apps like Discover, System Monitor, and more.
Still waiting on reliable headless KDE wayland remote sessions to make the jump to Plasma.
Hopefully Wayland will work with my GTX 1050.... (please)
After strolling through blogs and forums, I still can't tell what I'm missing by sticking with SDDM+X11 versus SDDM+Wayland on Kubuntu 24.04 LTS (
--minimal-install, so nosnapfor me).These are my specs:

I'm happy about the dedicated animations settings page. It would be great, however, if we could adjust the animation speed of each one individually, though.
Kde and plasma are so insanely great, and they just keep getting better.
