Probably Wayland by default? Pretty sure this will be the year of the linux desktop 😂

@beaiouns yeah the KUBE is back!!!! Now I can flex again to my friends about the power of Linux 😜

@carlschwan Better support for notifications, better integration with KDE Connect, maybe a way to send tabs to my main computer without having to be in the same network?

@carlschwan I hope they will fix issues I have with current rc - e.g. panel freeze after disconnection of external monitor.

@carlschwan My favourite Plasma 6 features are HDR support, floating panels, and since I'm a sucker for nice effects, the return of the cube switcher. And of course all the speed-ups and lower resource usages are also always extremely welcome features.

There are lots of goodies in this one, no single one stands out though.

@carlschwan I'm really excited for QT6 apps supporting native fractional scaling on Wayland. The way it works on Plasma 5.27 is fine, but this'll be a small, nice improvement.

@carlschwan Very excited!! ☺️ I'm looking forward to the "Dodge Windows" panel setting, Frameless view with QtWidgets and the new Overview.

@carlschwan Is the team confident it wont break things?

@carlschwan I heard fedora KDE 40 will use plasma 6; do I have to wait for that or can I update before (apologies, noob question from a noob)

Carl Schwan :kde:

@2du Fedora has Plasma 6 available in rawhide but I would recommend to wait for Fedora 40 because rawhide is not really production usage.

@carlschwan Full fingerprint support ✨️ However, i dunno is there?

@carlschwan Not for Plasma 6, but i hope Plasma 7 will be pure Rust 🦀 🦾

@carlschwan Excited but I am using Debian so, I'll wait. :)
