This Week in Plasma: Everything You Wanted and More
This Week in Plasma: Everything You Wanted and More
This week was full of major feature work and UI polishing, in addition to a lot of bug-fixing! I'm pretty sure everyone will find something to be excited about here:
I recently tried plasma after xfce and damn ! That shit is slick af, ut's so polished and satisfying to use ! Also the krita on kde experience is just incredible
Try KDE Connect if you've got an android phone, it's pretty cool. I had to tweak the notification settings on my phone to get it to work the way I wanted, but ymmv, I'm just saying this because I'm usually happy with the KDE default settings (at least the Bazzite KDE default, I'm not sure how much the Bazzite team has changed their DEs).
It's really stunning these days, super professional and clean, and really good themes actually too.
They are doing amazing work. Love Plasma!
Lots of nice changes here, it's been a busy week
I really like being able to disable the mute-sound button on the task icons, since I sometimes misclick on them during meetings... And once I had apparently done that and turned off the sound for slack, so my huddle didn't have any sound. Took me like 15 mins to find the reason since I thought it had to do with pulseaudio...
This one threw me off. I'd muted discord by mistake. Weirdly voice still works. I spent ages checking and double checking settings to see why I wasn't getting notification sounds and the ptt sound. Dismissing any mute possibility because voice was working.
When I found it was this....
IIRC it is possible to disable the indicators altogether, although that may or may not be an acceptable solution to you. For me it was worth the trade-off because of exactly this reason.
I tried to find where it was but can't find it...
Meanwhile "per monitor workspaces" have been requested almost 20 years ago and are a dealbreaker for many users...
Oh damn that's actually something I want
honestly I would be for same monitor configurations myself
having to do the same setup on all 3 is so annoying
Everything You Wanted
Is decent stability included? I very much doubt so.
KDE is rock solid on my device, unlike Gnome. What do you mean by that exactly?
KDE has never been stable for me. I can find a bug within 10 minutes if I search properly. On the other hand, GNOME is stable for me as long as I don't use sus extensions.
EDIT: just create a very wide vertical panel and try to move a clock widget in and out of it. Sometimes it'll just disappear and often it will crash Plasma.
