Plasma 6.6 is all about making your life as easy as possible without sacrificing any of the flexibility
KDE Plasma 6.6 released
KDE Plasma is a popular desktop (and mobile too) environment for GNU/Linux and other UNIX-like operating systems. Among other things, it also powers the desktop mode of the Steam Deck gaming handheld. The KDE community today announced the latest release: Plasma 6.6 . In this new major release Spectacle can recognize texts from screenshots, a new on-screen keybord and new login manager are available for testing, and a first-time wizard Plasma Setup was added. Your current theme can be saved as a new global theme, which can also be used for the day and night theme switching feature. Emoji selector got a new easier way to select skin tone. If your computer has a camera available you can now connect to a Wi-Fi network by scanning a QR code. Application sound volume can now be changed by scrolling over an application taskbar button via mouse wheel. When screencasting and sharing your desktop you can now filter windows so they are not shared. A setting was added to enable having virtual desktops only on the primary screen. If your device has an ambient light sensor you can enable automatic screen brightness adjustment. Game controllers can now be used as regular input devices.
