Finally, there's a GUI to delete orphaned data left in my home after uninstalling a #flatpak app:

""Desktop icons now remember their positions on a per-resolution basis!"

THANK YOU, #KDE!

I'm testing installing Plasma Addons with Discover and I found 2 related bugs and one crash in the first 5 minutes 😅

I love reading changelogs filled with bugfixes and small UI improvements!

"In the Plasma Wayland session, dragging-and-dropping various things to XWayland apps no longer sometimes makes them stop accepting clicks until the system is restarted (David Redondo, Plasma 5.24)"

Oh, thank you! This was such an annoying bug...

#KDE Developer Switches To #GNOME!

Nate Graham has already published his #KDE Roadmap for 2022:
https://pointieststick.com/2022/01/03/kde-roadmap-for-2022/amp/

Perhaps it's a bit unambitious, but all the listed goals seem reasonable and desirable changes.

Personally, I would have wanted to see a push for HDR video playback in #Wayland.

Finally #KDE #Plasma 5.24 will default to deep color (30bpp) also in #Wayland:

#GNOME's #Wayland Session Shows Potential For Better Battery Life Than With X.Org

Interesting... I'd be curious to see if the same is true for #KDE #Plasma...

Users are starting to find that the #KDE #Plasma #Wayland session has finally gotten good enough for everyday use. Give it (another) try!

Lots of bugfixes and improvements in this week's KDE updates:

My favorite is a small patch almost doubling Konsole's scrolling performance:

This week in KDE: Primarily Centered Hamburgers

NOOOOOO! The cube animation was dropped from #KDE Plasma 5.23!

Whyyyyy

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=443410#c3

...and... it boots!

Now I'm in #KDE Plasma 5.23... everything seems fine, except I no longer see the desktop cube animation. Has it been removed? Or moved to a separate #Fedora package?

The #KDE sysadmins moved their CI pipelines to GitLab:

...plus the usual array of bugfixes and improvements for the next release.

I can't believe Valve is actually launching a consumer device powered by #ArchLinux and #KDE #Plasma!
