How do you make a great desktop into a fantastic desktop? Easy — chip away at the rough bits, polish the good stuff, and add awesomeness. After 29 years of development, KDE’s got the foundation nailed down. Plasma 6.5 is all about fine-tuning, fresh features, and a making everything smooth and sleek for everyone.

Ready to see what’s new? Let’s dive into Plasma 6.5!

Highlights:

  • Automatic Theme Transitions: Configure when your theme will transition from light to dark and back.
  • Caret Text Navigation: Zoom now swoops in to where you type
  • KRunner Fuzzy Search: Even if you type it wrong, KRunner will find it!

What a banger release! Last time they focused on bug hunting, this time its about features. This ping pong focused development is very nice.

  • KRunner Fuzzy Search: Not earth shattering, but welcome. I hope there is a way to dynamically force to enable or disable it. Sometimes fuzzy search can be in the way (I know it from other fuzzy search tools). My recommendation is ~ character to toggle the functionality: "~file" to enable fuzzy in example, if its disabled by default. I may even make a suggestion in the issue tracker, but I don't know what options they integrated into it yet.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
