Plasma Mobile News📳!

@NGIZero Core is funding work on the power management stack; the task switcher gets gestures back; the lockscreen and notifications were redesigned; KDE's very own convergent web browser, Angelfish, has been overhauled and now supports gestures; and look forward to improvements to Discover, Clock, Dialer and more.

This kept me awake last night thinking about it.

The KDE community today announced the latest release: Plasma 6.4. This fresh new release improves on nearly every front, with progress being made in accessibility, color rendering, tablet support, window management, and more.

Plasma already offered virtual desktops and customizable tiles to help organize your windows and activities, and now it lets you choose a different configuration of tiles on each virtual desktop. The Wayland session brings some new accessibility features: you can now move the pointer using your keyboard’s number pad keys, or use a three-finger touchpad pinch gesture to zoom in or out. Plasma file transfer notification now shows a speed graph, giving you a more visual idea of how fast the transfer is going, and how long it will take to complete. When any applications are in full screen mode Plasma will now enter Do Not Disturb mode and only show urgent notifications, and when you exit full screen mode, you’ll see a summary of any notifications you missed. Now when an application tries to access the microphone and finds it muted, a notification will pop up. A new feature in the Application Launcher widget will place a green New! tag next to newly installed apps, so you can easily find where something you just installed lives in the menu. The Display and Monitor page in System Settings comes with a brand new HDR calibration wizard, and support for Extended Dynamic Range (a different kind of HDR) and P010 video color format has been added. System Monitor now supports usage monitoring for AMD and Intel graphic cards, it can even show the GPU usage on a per-process basis. Spectacle, the built-in app for taking screenshots and screen recordings, has much improved design and more streamlined functionality. The background of the desktop or window now darkens when an authentication dialog shows up, helping you locate and focus on the window asking for your password. There’s a brand-new Animations page in System Settings that groups all the settings for purely visual animated effects into one place, making it easier to find and configure them. Aurorae is a newly added SVG vector graphics theme engine for KWin window decorations.

You can read more about these and many other other features in the Plasma 6.4 anounncement and complete changelog.

I really shouldn't be astonished, but I am 😵.

This is, of course, utter abuse of user data, but what's even worse is that Google allows this.

#Conversations was taken off Google Play, and forced to remove its contacts linking feature for #privacy reasons, despite the fact that no contact data was ever uploaded to any servers, yet #Citymapper is allowed to share highly sensitive precise location data with third parties for the sake of #profit?!

🤬 Goodbye Citymapper!!

Thankfully we're not exactly short of #opensource alternatives: I love how #Öffi displays the timetables, but we also have #Transportr and KDE's #KTrip (which not only works on Android but also on #mobilelinux).

"This Week in Plasma" brings the news that Plasma 6.5.0 will _probably_ have picture-in-picture support under Wayland, that you will be able to re-order your virtual desktops, and that Spectacle will clearly tell you how to stop a screen recording (among many other things).

Small gestures make a big difference! Natalie and Jakob are working on improving gesture support in @kde@floss.social Plasma. Check out their sprint report.

Expected : preview options appear

Actual : Ghostwriter crashes

Hello! I'm working with typst files, and would like to write a kate plugin to automatically preview them inside kate. However, the official guide has instructions only for plasma 5. Does anyone have a bare-bones plugin project I can clone and modify, or some tips on how to adapt the files in the official guide in order to work on plasma 6?

Thanks in advance!

The second maintenance release of the 25.04 cycle is out with many fixes and workflow improvements.

MA Barbe reviews KDE's contributions to the ecosystem during the State of Libre Graphics keynote at the @lgm 2025.

Although the whole video is interesting, the KDE section starts at 32:00 and covers the newest graphical features in #Plasma6, @Krita, @kdenlive and Glaxnimate.

I enabled the automatic login on Login SDDM

But now, every time I start my computer, kwallet asks for my password.

I kinda enabled the automatic login to not have to type my password, this kinda defeats the purpose of it @_@
