From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

These are some crazy big things!!
Plasma-login is nice, has some very needed things
Plasma-keyboard is essential for anyone on a convertible or even tablet, as the old maliit keyboard is abandonware
The usb portal will be really useful
Ocr support in spectacle! This exists on proprietary android but not AOSP, and on windows too. Really neat. I hope the integration is nice, this is a really big UI task.
OCR support seems really cool. Currently for OCR I either use NormCap, or on Android some random OCR on f-droid which doesnt have any crazy perms.
I'll be so glad to ditch maliit, it isn't responsive at all and gets pushed off the screen by a simple vertical taskbar. Even worse, it spams the journal with so much unnecessary debug info that I never found any way to turn off or filter out.
I can't wrap my head around how good KDE has become, I end up crawling back to KDE every time. If some nice person will bake a native tilling mode like cosmic, it will be very hard to convince me to switch away from KDE.
It's not native, but I've been daily driving krohnkite for about a year now and it works so well I forget it's a kwin script.
Paired with Klassy to highlight the active window.
I never liked KDE. I used it before there was GNOME but I used GNOME 2 for years and Cinnamon or XFCE after that.
I probably tried KDE4 once and KDE5 a couple times. Not for me. But I have used KDE a lot since Plasma 6. I have to agree with you. They are doing a great job. It is probably the best environment for Wayland.
I also use COSMIC a bit and Niri is my favourite environment. But I do seem to be using Plasma 6 a lot. It is sitting in front of me now.
Oh man I am so excited for the new keyboard! I had so many issues with trying to get one working on my Ally, and eventually had to give up because none of them scaled properly
Why the move from SDDM to PLM?
SDDM is a duct taped together mess. It's functional in so far that it works. If your nice to it and never ask it to do anythung weird.
Will this make it in Kubuntu 26.04? That'd be awesome!
Even if not. You can always just update it to the latest version:)
