      It is a fairly minor release for gnome. The problem with KDE is that it has so many features that it is harder to use and setup. It also doesn’t have a focus on stability.

        They’ve also had to spend several cycles rearchitecting the codebase and reducing duplicated efforts.

        Plasma 6’s future seems very bright. Especially if they keep improving Breeze especially if they keep focusing on sane defaults and a simple unified and consistent style.

        I’m not sure what you mean??

        KDE is usable out of the box, and very easy to use.

          Not for me. I want my desktop to be functional and I don’t really customize all that much.

            I mean, I run basically stock KDE with the dark theme. It seems functional but maybe we just have different ideas of functional?

        And file manager changes, settings changes, account integration changes, notification system changes, changes to a handful of their other core apps, compositor improvements, memory optimisations, a new rendering system, hardened security for their image viewer, and a bunch of accessibility improvements.

        But, you know, if your attention span only allows you to focus on a new wallpaper, then sure.

        But if you want to get into the weeds a bit:
