KDE MegaRelease 6
kde.org
KDE is an open community of friendly people who want to create a world in which everyone has control over their digital life and enjoys freedom and privacy.

Today the KDE Community is announcing a new najor release of Plasma 6.0, and Gear 24.02. KDE Plasma is a modern, feature-rich desktop environment for Linux-based operating systems. Known for its sleek design, customizable interface, and extensive set of applications, it is also open source, devoid of ads, and makes protecting your privacy and personal data a priority.

With Plasma 6, the technology stack has undergone two major upgrades: a transition to the latest version of the application framework, Qt 6, and a migration to the modern Linux graphics platform, Wayland. They will continue providing support for the legacy X11 session for users who prefer to stick with it for now. The new version brings the new windows and desktop overview, improved colour management, a cleaner theme, more effects, better overall performance, and much more.

      I’m not sure what he means either, but if he meant gnome he’d have said Gnome, and probably posted it on a submission about Gnome.

      And Gnome really doesn’t feel like MacOS at all. Beyond a black bar at the top with a few bits in it, they’re very, very different.

      E: I think they’re referring to the new overview menu that’s essentially a clone of Gnome’s Activities view. But that’s not really how it is on MacOS either.

      And I’m not sure why you immediately downvoted lol. Have I done something to upset you?

      No, I’m referring to KDE. Check the link in the post and watch the videos. The desktop switching is now working almost exactly like in MacOS.

      Of course KDE wins by allowing to configure it.
