We are less than 50 days away from the final version of #Plasma6.
Along with Frameworks 6 and KDE Gear 24.02, the Megarelaease on the 28th of February will be one of the biggest and more complex upgrades in KDE's history.
One more RC will be released on the 31st of January and then it will be (hopefully) clear sailing until the final release.
KDE releases today Plasma Mobile 6. Check out its renewed base system and apps.
This version comes with a new and improved shell, a new home screen with heaps of new features, enhancements of the base system, improvements in apps like Clock, Kasts and Photos, and much more.
Plasma developer David Edmundson demonstrates how a desktop using Wayland, Qt6 and KWin can recover from a catastrophic crash as if nothing had happened.
I finally budged and used pmbootstrap to make my own customization of @postmarketOS . The experience was not so smooth as the documentation was not specific enough and scattered, but I finally did it 🎉 with PmOS edge channel (rolling release) and #KDE#Plasma6 .
I should give props to both @postmarketOS and @kde mobile folks for such gorgeous view and clean experience. It is astonishingly beautiful, and many Plasma5 issues are fully solved!
ATTENTION PLASMA WIDGET, THEME AND ADD-ON DEVELOPERS:
KDE loves all your stuff, but you need to port it for it to work in #Plasma6. We have created a handy, easy-to-follow guide for extensions and widgets at
This week in KDE brings new #Plasma6 features, like changes to the sound theme and when sounds are played, you can now change your active power profile, and log in easier to captive portal pages (like those found at hotels and airports).

KDE Plasma 6 is available in the next version of Fedora Kinoite today!
Warning! This is a pre-beta Fedora release that may have bugs. Feedback welcomed!
To try it, you can install Fedora Kinoite 39 and rebase to Fedora 40 on the command line or directly install it using the Kinoite dvd-ostree ISO from: https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/nightlies.html
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...
Did you know #postmarketOS has been shipping nightly built #Plasma6 packages for a while now? It has been useful so far for #plasma developers to develop and make #PlasmaMobile Qt6 ready, but it's also a great way for more experienced users to help test out KDE and catch bugs early!
