The new overview is already there; it's actually super W, not super G. Super G is for the grid view.

6.0.1 just dropped with the main integration bug fixes.

[maximvh]

I cant wait, you can tell the devs have some amazing talent & passion

[deadpianist]

Thanks i watched this while travelling and saved me time to try it myself

[MnemonicCarrier]

Very enjoyable and informative review - thanks!

[Nullarino]

ngl this video review for plasma 6 was epic.

[violet_droid_xz]

KDE Plasma is far better than Mac OS and Windows; I really love its UI, animations, and overall elements. But there are still some bugs and instability in the wayland. Sometimes lagging frame-drops in interactions. If developers see these comments, you did an excellent job :)) .

[swws]

Update to Plasma 6 worked fine on EndeavourOS🥰

[MnemonicCarrier]

Anyone know how to enable the desktop cube on Plasma 6? I've enabled it in settings, I have four virtual desktops, but when I press META + C, nothing happens! 🤷‍♂

[RedSntDK]

13:30 I think the flicker issues was an Nvidia issue in wayland? There was a changelog mention about flickering in the 550.x beta drivers anyway back in January.
Lots of nice little quality of life changes in KDE 6. I can't wait to try it out, although I'll probably wait until I'm forced to 😅
But VRR is what I'm hoping for gets really good once I do the jump.
EDIT: Oh, sounds like you're not using nvidia heh, aaanyway.

I recently started using Pop OS for gaming. There is a couple games that I have to run on Windows unfortunately. I hope that I can make the full switch to Linux in a not to distant future.

[nullpointerworks]

KDE did a great job with Wayland stability and made a lot of improvements, but I got to say I've been having nothing but issues after the update. Long story short, my system runs fine now, but when gaming or watching streams my PC would freeze and become unresponsive after a various amount of time. Sometimes an hour, sometimes shorter. I suppose it's a GPU driver issue, but I've already tried various solutions. It happens on both Wayland and X11. Maybe I should switch to another distribution.

[winstonwilkins]

I'd like to run this on Pop! os 22.04. How would I do this?

[johanb.]

The upgrade to 6 on KDE neon was a total disaster. I uninstalled neon and went back to my old and reliable friend Xfce on MX 23.2. Runs smooth as a babies bottom.

[brasananas]

do you think plasma 6 is better than fedora 39? i've been wanting to switch to linux for a while now but i can't decide which distro i should use, there r just so many of them, i know that arch is more complex for beginners and i dont really like ubunto but from what i've seen fedora is the sweet spot for new linux users but after this video i don't know which one i should choose, which one do u think is best ? Great video btw, love ur content man keep it up ❤🙏

[tanmaypatel]

Seeing that RDR 2 logo.. Do AAA titles like this one run good in Linux because I am tired of blurry text on my windows 11 that came in with my gaming laptop.

I have spent months looking for a fix and tried a million solutions but none of them work. The only reason I use windows is for games.

So I am curious that can my gaming experience be as smooth as it is on windows because if yes then i would definitely permanently switch over to linux.

[neofox]

How much of an impact do you think proton adding stable wayland support (no xwayland) will have? Will it be a huge difference?

[rayenouni]

hi i am new here. how to play the finals on linux and thanks.
(I use ARCH btw)

[nico]

Plasma 6.0.1 is in Arch stable since a few days ago :)

[ITZRawand]

Is it possible to play fivem the rp version of gta with these linux operating systems as the performance of these are insane
