as an arch user (btw), plasma 6 has already been installed from the future
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 a fedora user im excited to have it in 2 months
As another Debian user, I’m excited to get it in maybe a month or 2!
Debian testing?
KDE Plasma is amazing.
I am happy that they do Wayland as default now, the Wayland experience has long been flawless for me. I wonder when this update will hit the Steam Deck, since gamescope is Wayland I don't think Valve will go out of their way to enable X again.
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
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.
yup
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
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.
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
As a Microsoft designer, I can't wait for this!
KDE Plasma is bloat
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.
HYPE
I didnt know but Ive been vibing on KDE's stuff a lot lately
I can't wait :3
I use KDE but unless its really a huge change or disrupts my defaults, I probably wont even notice
xfce my beloved
I'm in Feb 28th already, it's not coming yet, where pama 6 >:(
I couldn't wait, I'm already using it for that HDR support.
Eagerly awaiting it going to ~amd64 on gentoo. This is the milestone I set myself to try desktop linux on my main PC again.
Remind me in a few hours to tell you how the merge went!
Haha, godspeed. :P
Well, I rebooted to a black screen after login, but ctrl + alt + t works to bring up a new terminal window and alt + space conjures the... whatever it's called, thingy that can be used to launch programs, calculate things, or search files. So all in all, my computer's completely usable, I'd just like to get the menus and panels back sometime. Unfortunately, I have literally no free time, which is also why using Gentoo is such a brilliant idea for me.
Oof, rough. I'm gonna wait until it is no longer hardmasked at least, maybe it'll work better then.
