You should have recorded again the first part. The quality is always more important than the quantity of the content

[deutandev]

Color stuff, floating panel, and global theme update is really interesting to me... Thank you KDE Devs

The first 2 minutes being a slideshow is catastrophic. People click off of videos within the first 10 seconds if they don't like it. This is the most important part of the video and you are remiss for not retaking that part. Having a jump cut is way better than this.

8:12 "Desktop and panel management" is a neat feature to have. When I take my laptop to work, the monitors all have different desktops.

What I would do was delete all of the monitors under [ScreenConnectors] in .config/plasmashellrc and logout and log back in. But with this new feature, I should be able to move monitors around without having to edit config files.

I like how you're still using the wallpaper that Matteo set for you.

I can't wait for KDE 6, I was planning of contributing to KDE but the university had me occupied. I wish in the near future to contribute on this DE.

Niccolo, congrats on the floating panel, it looks amazing!

[tnetroP]

As a KDE Plasma user, than you for all your work.

[quantumbits]

I really wanted to see those smooth animations and transitions 🥲

[stephenwilson]

There's one feature/option that I've been waiting for, and seems like a no-brainer to add. I want the option to have my workspaces only on my primary monitor like in GNOME. I have two screens and typically have YouTube or something I'm referencing on my second screen, and then switch between workspaces on my main screen. There used to be a kwin script that would automatically "pin" any window on secondary screens to all workspaces which gives the same effect, but the script doesn't seem to work anymore.

[Sjoerd]

Love how the accent colours can be applied to the title bars, makes them blend in with the applications. I kinda hate the look of titlebars, looks like an artifact from the Windows 98 era that is inexplicably still there. Looks so much cleaner with this single colour for the titlebar and window!

Looks like a super nice release overall. I'm generally a Gnome user, but I will definitely give this a spin once it drops in Fedora.

TechHut has problems with interlacing in his KDE 5.25 video, while Niccolo turned into LibreOffice Impress presentation

Niccolo. How old you man, and you're doing your bachelor's or Master's?
You're amazing. Great work

[etiennedud]

The floating panel is sweet but it is strange that instead of de-floating (aka moving to the border and enlarging to touch the side) it just become bigger, thus take more place and have border around selected apps

[gabrielilloz]

I feel that the animations for present windows were much faster and smoother before... maybe because they were written in c++, I don't know. Hopefully it will be improved. Thanks for the video!

[jesse]

Niccolo, these are some great advancements and improvements to KDE Plasma! I would like to see some option for applying desktop wallpapers to multi-monitor setups. You still have to apply a wallpaper based on which window the configuration window is open on. Plus, being able to span monitors with a single wallpaper would also be great.

[sonicsaviouryouwillnotgetm]

you people are awesome! Also, the new wall papers are fantastic. (True for all the last releases). The people that are designing those deserve an award.

[tebicap]

It could be interesting keep the panel floating even when maximize windows. I used to have the panel in the left side of the screen and I believe it could be nice. Anyway that looks amazing, congrats!
