Plasma 6 Beta 2 released! We are nearly there, but more testing needed.
Just in time for the Winter Holidays 🎄, Happy New Beta 🎉!
https://kde.org/announcements/megarelease/6/beta2/
After this second Beta, there will be two Release Candidates, one on the 10th and the other on the 31st of January. All these releases are **not** final, they are for testing and should not be used in production…
… But many people are confirming that the current version is already very mature and quite stable. Ultimately it is your choice. Use at your own risk – and report all those bugs to
The final release is only 10 weeks away!

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social IS THAT A FLOATING TASKBAR
@Bro666 @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social omg fuck you gnome konqui is king
Yes, floating panels were added in Plasma 5.25.
No, the last was 5.27.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social That is so cool!! Cannot wait to get my hands on it 😃
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social is it possible to install alongside plasma 5?
I’m happy to test but would love it if I could keep my daily driver setup as well.
Unlikely. Best option would be to it in a VM, or install a second distro to your drive and upgrade it to Plasma 6.
Yeah… Dual boot.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social i downloaded the KDE Neon ISO and have it running in a VM.
so far, many bug reports sent out!
If I want a Debian based distro with the latest stable plasma, which one would you recommend?
Hmm, if you count something based on Ubuntu as being Debian based (some people do, some people don’t) then I believe that is exactly what KDE Neon is supposed to be!
Hmm… does it have any telemetry? I’m worried about user data collection. I know Ubuntu has that. It’s fairly easy to remove but I’d rather not have it to begin with.
That I’m not sure of unfortunately. From the Plasma side of things I know telemetry has always been specifically opt-in, but I don’t know whether KDE Neon has the canonical telemetry disabled out of the box (my gut instinct says it would be disabled, but I have zero proof of this).
@cyborganism @kde Debian
The last stable release supplies 5.27.
It looks awesome! I admire your work and dedication, KDE guys!
Those wallpapers are part of plasma 6?
Isn’t it disorienting to have the wallpaper change every 2 seconds?
You can have a wallpaper slideshow. That said, the default is a change every 10 minutes and not every 2 seconds like here. But as we don’t know the final winner of the wallpaper contests yet, we decided to run through the six finalists (which we do know and are public).
However, let me show you something that is a builtin to the Plasma wallpaper feature:
