Welcome to Lemmy.fan!

This instance succeeds on one simple mantra: Be kind, and do unto others as you have done to yourself. Consider for a moment that we're ALL on the the same rapidly-spinning, mostly-watery orb, hurtling through space at fantastic speeds, and trading metal and paper for our livelihoods. The unknown will always dwarf the known. Learning never ends. We may be experts in something, but no one person is an expert in all things.

Given that, here our are very simple

Rules

▪ Facts based in reality and science are not debatable.

▪ Opinions are great, just be ready to back yours up with a solid foundation of factual information and/or research.

▪ No NSFW communities are allowed to be created on this instance.

▪ Community creation is encouraged so long as it is actively moderated.

▪ Donations are not being accepted or expected. This rule may change IF the instance grows beyond current capacity. Please enjoy an ad-free, donation-free social media experience.

▪ Lastly, negative behaviors such as trolling, harassment, stalking, brigading, and other offensive behaviors as judged by the instance admin(s) will not be tolerated. Immediate and permanent bans are issued for spammers, trollers, vote brigaders, stalkers, harassers, and those of similar ilk. All decisions will be made by the instance admin(s). Those decisions are final and incontestable.

That's the end of the boring but necessary stuff.

Plasma 6.1 Released (kde.org)

KDE Plasma 6.1 released (kde.org)
 
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/17012596

While Plasma 6.0 was all about getting the migration to the underlying Qt 6 frameworks correct (and what a massive job that was), 6.1 is where developers start implementing the features that will take your desktop to a new level.

In this release, you will find features that go far beyond subtle changes to themes and tweaks to animations (although there is plenty of those too), as you delve into interacting with desktops on remote machines, become more productive with usability and accessibility enhancements galore, and discover customizations that will even affect the hardware of your computer.

These features and more are being built directly into Plasma's Wayland version natively, avoiding the need for third party software and hacky extensions required by similar solutions implemented in X.

Things will only get more interesting from here. But meanwhile enjoy what will land on your desktop with your next update.

Some of the new features:

  • Improved remote desktop support with a new built-in server
  • Overhauled desktop edit mode
  • Restoration of open applications from the previous session on Wayland
  • Synchronization of keyboard LED colors with the desktop accent color
  • Making mouse cursor bigger and easier to find by shaking it
  • Edge barriers (a sticky area for mouse cursor near the edge between screens)
  • Explicit support eliminates flickering and glitches for NVidia graphics card users on Wayland
  • Triple Buffering support for smoother animations and screen rendering
