Plasma 6.2 is out β Welcome to the "Let's get CreativeποΈ" edition!
Check out the inbuilt tablet configuration, improved HDR and color management, enhanced #accessibility, cool visual design upgrades, granular power controls, and much more.
Note that due to unforeseen circumstances, we have been unable to ship the new wallpaper, "Reef", with this version of Plasma. However, a new wallpaper will be coming soon in the next 6.2 version of Plasma.
If you can't wait, you can download "Reef" from here:
We would like to remind you that both @Krita and @kdenlive are currently running fundraisers:
#Krita :
No ads, no spyware, no demos, as all software is fully functional and free. Also no subscriptions, no license fees, no unwanted communications.
A KDE-based system includes lots of customization possibilities (i.e. you can change practically everything in you system and desktop environment), but is also perfectly functional as is, even if you do not change a thing.
KDE software will work on most hardware, even on old, under-powered computers.

Or a one-time donation or a periodic donation for the amount of your choice at:
That is regular themes.
_Global_ themes also modify the desktop's behavior and hence contain code to do that.

We have project called @plasmamobile
Pair that with, say, @postmarketOS

That would be one of KDE Connects' main functions, yes. It makes sharing any kind of file (photos, videos, whatever) easy.
You can also share the content of your clipboard from your desktop to your phone and vice versa. So you would copy, say, a web address on your desktop, and you would be able to paste it into your web browser on your phone immediately.
