This week #Plasma has received quite a lot of fixes,

like you can now remove the titlebar and frame from a window directly from the Task Manager, the digital clock gets a nicer-looking font picker dialog, and we have simplified the info shown on Display Configuration, among many other improvements and changes.

Note that due to unforeseen circumstances, we have been unable to ship the new wallpaper, "Reef", with this version of Plasma. However, a new wallpaper will be coming soon in the next 6.2 version of Plasma.

If you can't wait, you can download "Reef" from here:

Apple had to learn the hard way: Under the DMA (thanks @EUCommission !) they were forced to give users a choice regarding the default search engine and browser on their systems.

What are we going to do about Microsoft misleading users?

How KDE made IT classes for underprivileged youths possible in Providence by kde in c/kde@lemmy.kde.social

So we also managed to avoid having all those machines ending up in landfills, polluting the soil and waterways because providers of proprietary OSes only want you to buy new stuff and ignore the impact on the environment.

KDE provided the software that allowed to recover machines that had been obsoleted by the successive updates from Microsoft Windows, and this made possible for the CACD to carry out the program.

https://cacd.nationbuilder.com/programs_at_cacd

We provided support and advice so that the teens could familiarise themselves with open source software, saving them from being trapped in the proprietary cycle of buy new hardware, update, be forced to buy new hardware, update, rinse and repeat.

IMPORTANT

Please note that release candidates, although often called "sneak peeks", are still work in progress and must be installed and used with extreme care. They will contain bugs, some of which may still be critical. Do not use this software in production environments. Use for testing only.

Plasma 6 Beta 2 released! We are nearly there, but more testing needed. by kde in c/kde@lemmy.kde.social

... 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
