Less gooo I am so hyped
On the one hand, eeeeeeee it’s plasma 6, gotta get the beta.
On the other hand, I can’t brick my Linux install otherwise I’m screwed (running fedora asahi, btrfs on 16k page size causes severe limitations when it comes to getting files out of a system)
Do not try this on your production computer unless it is on another partition or virtual machine.
You should probs not flash it on your main machine
@Kidplayer_666 @WeLoveCastingSpellz Create a btrfs snapshot of your current install. You can just revert if something breaks. Or doesn't this work on Asahi yet?
No idea to be completely honest. Gotta read the goddamn manual…
What feature are you waiting for?
More panel customizations,also the change to QT6
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social can't wait until my framework laptop arrives 2024 Q1 and I can install arch with plasma 6 on it
Can I just enable the KDE-unstable repo in arch and test?
EDIT: Yes, just follow the wiki and reboot!
HDR (for games) here we gooo
Edit 2: Ok, gotta wait a bit more for the great work of Zamundaaa to be merged. Can't wait!
Let's hope the HDR is better than Windows the last time I tried it.
Not just yet! For now only the desktop has HDR gamma and color settings, don’t expect more than that until more patches arrive.
And I understand that, at least in this first release, the objective is to have gaming hdr, not movies nor images…
dont seem to get the new build. did you do anything exept adding the repo in pacman.conf
Make sure you follow the wiki: you need to put the repo at the top of the list!
I wonder if I can get my hands on this beta on NixOS. Anybody know of a flake or overlay?
Edit: I found a flake! Testing it now.
Where? Ya got a link?
@baduhai Sorry, failed to past the link https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Plasma_6
Thanks! I also eventually came across the link.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social i really hope the Wideness and Bigness of thigns are customizable
Long live KDE! You guys are my heros.
Will KDE Neon Testing Edition get the update, too?
