In my teenage years it was the compiz cube that got me to install linux. Don't underestimate the value of these "niche" features :)

This feels like a huge improvement! In previous years I've always bounced off of KDE because of how messy it felt (multiple menus inside menus, walls of text, the unorganised settings app), also the KDE style felt less polished than Libadwaita. This update might actually get me to use KDE more.

6:03 As an aside, I really love how well OBS handles that hall-of-mirrors effect without slowing a system to a crawl like in the old days of Fraps and similar (on Windows typically.)

Flawless review! Regards from Córdoba, Argentina.

Beautiful! Plasma has always been very customisable, but had a generally rough feeling with janky animations, little or no padding for many elements, rare but unexpected plasma shell reboots in Wayland, minor but constant graphical bugs, etc. It seems these issues are gone with Plasma 6. I hope they will add a setting to choose the window roundness and title-bar size, though. I'm also concerned about third-party extensions such as Event Calendar. Thanks for the video!

I see an anime wallpaper on a Linux video, I sit and listen. That’s the mark of a real-deal Linux user! Like an Indian accent explaining math, or a Russian accent explaining how to crack a game 😂

Really impressive I can’t wait to try it.

[MnemonicCarrier]

This looks.... AWESOME! So glad the cube is coming back!! 🤣

I hated my first try with it-- I WILL however- use your video as a guide and see if I can make it better.. for me.. thanks..your videos are slow- simple- to the point and full of great info- not a lot of wordy talking and fluff like some do-- GREAT JOB!!! THANKS- maybe I can learn enough to KEEP my kde.

Good to see. I probably won't be running it anytime soon. I'm currently on Kubuntu 22.04LTS, and will upgrade to 24.04LTS when it comes out, but that will almost certainly still use Plasma 5, and possibly X11. Though I may have a play with it on a spare laptop earlier. When Plasma 6 is available on 24.04LTS I'll definitely have a look in.

I prefer more minimal Wayland compositors like Sway, but I really appreciate KDE team's hard work for improving Linux desktop experience to end users.
I remember I installed Zorin as my first desktop linux about 2 years ago because it looked fancy. And now I'm contributing to a wayland compositor.

Hope Wayland's touchpad gestures will be customizable.

Great video. As a Kubuntu user for my daily driver, I'm looking forward to KDE Plsama 6.

[whythosenames]

They should please start cleaning up the config files in the xdg config home Directory and move them inside a single subdirectory. It is a complete mess and plasma 6 would be a good point to change that

[kavya]

took a chance, beta yes, it hangs on startup, in fact, only half the screen loads before it all locks up. back to kde5...

[yarecco]

Look at the icons in the panel. They are of different size, chaotic, as it used to be since I rememer. Look at Gnome or Deepin and learn how the modern destkop should look like.

What's happening with Activities in Plasma 6? Activities is so underrated in Plasma 5. It's like having meta desktops that can have their own desktops. Totally a gamechanger for people who do different kinds of work on one PC. (One set of desktops for work, another for games, etc.) But even the Plasma manual doesn't describe this awesome functionality!

[floweringmind]

The bar looks great but there at lots of issues with windows looking super chunky, strange fonts, errors with apps running or themes installing. I will stick with Zorin.

KDE Plasma is impressive and highly customizable. But it's downside is that it will need at least 12GB of RAM and at least 3GHz processor speed. While so many LINUX flavors created a name for salvaging old hardware that would have been unusable using MS-Windows, KDE Plasma will enable more LINUX flavors capture the newer and faster processors away from Microsoft. Bravo!
