Spectacle release cycle has moved to that of Plasma and will be installed with Plasma, as a part of Plasma.
It used to be am independent app and on many distros you would install it separately (like on Arch) and its release cycle was that of KDE Gear.
Use KDE Connect:
On your phone, go into wher you keep your files (say, your photo gallery). Select the ones you want to transfer (1). Tap the share button (2), and the devices paired with your phone will show up (3). Tap the computer you want to send your files to and they will show up in the "Downloads" directory of that machine a few seconds later (depending on their size, of course).
It works both ways, also from laptop to phone, and even between phones and computers.

We asked a designer to make a logo we could use for the Plasma 6 _CAMPAIGN_, not for Plasma 6 itself.
We asked for something that would remind people of the Plasma logo (a folded piece of paper with three dots), but that also looked like a 6. This what they came up with.
So no, not the new Plasma logo.
Sorry.
@closetfurry For Clip Studio Paint, Krita might be a very good alternative (and it also work on Windows)
For games, anti cheats are indeed still a huge pain :(

To clarify, these are not themes officially supported by KDE.
They are themes submitted by third party creators. We have tested them and seen they are fit to review and recommend (some aren't).
We would recommend contacting the author and give them your feedback.
Their details are available at:
