In the video we can see applications seamlessly move between Plasma, Gnome, Weston, Hyprland and Sway as part of the wayland robustness project.

This is a video demonstration of a new feature in Qt 6.6 to handle clients surviving a compositor restart.

Check out what we got up to at Latinoware 2022 and all the cools stuff we did and great people we met.

Even with a bare-bones installation, Plasma lets you customize your desktop a lot. If you want more, there are always widgets. Widgets add features and utilities to the Plasma desktop and today you can find out all the stuff you can do and what's new with the widgets shipped with Plasma 5.26.

Widgets are not the only thing to look forward to in Plasma 5.26: check out all the new stuff landing in the desktop designed to make using Plasma easier, more accessible and enjoyable, as well as the two new utilities for Plasma Big Screen, KDE's interface for smart TVS.

Check out the full announcement.

Plasma 5.25 brings new features and concepts to the desktop environment. Check out how you can now handle your desktop through gestures on your touchpad or touchscreen, the advanced and easy to use customization features, an improved and very useful Overview, and much, much more.

On occasion of KDE's 25th anniversary, Matthias Ettrich, the founder of KDE, talked to Lydia Pintscher, Vice President of KDE e.V., about how KDE came to be, what has changed since and how he sees the future of Linux desktops.

25 years ago today, Matthias Ettrich sent an email to the de.comp.os.linux.misc newsgroup explaining a project he was working on. The latest and direct result of that email (plus a quarter of a century of relentless experimentation, development and innovation) has just landed in KDE's repositories.

This time around, Plasma renews its looks and, not only do you get a new wallpaper, but also a gust of fresh air from an updated theme: Breeze - Blue Ocean. The new Breeze theme makes KDE apps and tools not only more attractive, but also easier to use both on the desktop and your phone and tablet.

Of course, looks are not the only you can expect from Plasma 25AE: extra speed, increased reliability and new features have also found their way into the app launcher, the software manager, the Wayland implementation, and most other Plasma tools and utilities.
