The release schedule plan for KDE Plasma 6 was published a few days ago. They plan to release the final versions of all 3 major parts (Frameworks, Plasma and Gear) in February 2024

KDE Plasma 6 will default to double-clicking on files and folders to open them by default, matching the default behavior of GHOME (and Windows, macOS, and ChromeOS). Users who prefer a single-click can still change the setting though. https://www.omglinux.com/kde-plasma-makes-double-click-default/ #KDEPlasma6 #KDE #KDEPlasma #DoubleClick #SingleClick

KDE Wallpaper Competition Kicks-Off — Win a 13-inch Framework Laptop

Grab crayons, Krita, or anything else you use to create stunning artwork because KDE devs are looking for a new wallpaper — and there are prizes to be won! “Prizes?”, you ask – yes: a 13-inch Framework laptop and your work being used as the default wallpaper in KDE Plasma 6.0 (currently in development and due for release next year). Opportunities like this don’t come up often! What are the conditions? Wallpapers entered in to the KDE wallpaper competition need to be original and made specifically for it – no rehashing your greatest hits or dusted off that DeviantArt classic. :sys_more_orange:

KDE neon’s Experimental Archive Makes Testing KF6 Apps Easier

Keen to kick the tyres on the next wave of KDE software? If so, check out a revamped experimental archive KDE neon developers recently announced. Unstable builds of the Ubuntu-based KDE neon now include KDE Plasma 6 (which is under active development) but apps retooled/built using KDE Frameworks 6 (considered pre-alpha quality at the time of writing) are being more cautiously previewed, siloed in a dedicated archive. To be clear here: you can sample, test, and use KDE Plasma 6 in KDE neon Unstable builds without this archive (as I understand it). But if you want — and want is :sys_more_orange:

KDE neon Unstable Edition Now Includes KDE Plasma 6.0 (WIP)

If you’re eager to play around with the upcoming KDE Plasma 6 release the folks behind the KDE neon make it easy. Work on KDE Plasma 6 is well underway and the first stable release of it is expected to be released …Well, when it’s ready – but likely sometime later this year. But if you’re keen to muck in and try it out ahead of then you can download KDE neon unstable edition. This is an Ubuntu 22.04 LTS based “not a distro” distro whose latest ISOs include KDE Plasma 6.0 and its assorted libraries and frameworks. Now, I :sys_more_orange:

This week my fellow developers and I are in Germany for an in-person Plasma sprint–our first since 2019! For this reason, there will be no normal weekly blog post today, and instead next week…
