Wed, 28 Feb 2024 18:25:11 +0000

Description:
It's been nearly 10 years since KDEPlasma5 ,
which is the last major release of the desktop .
On February28 the project announced its "mega release" of KDE
Plasma6, KDE Frameworks 6, and KDE Gear24.02  all based on the Qt6 
development framework. This
release focuses heavily on migrating to Wayland, and aspires to be a seamless
upgrade for the user while improving performance, security, and support
for newer hardware. For developers, a lot of work has gone into removing
deprecated frameworks and decreasing dependencies to make it easier to write
applications targeting KDE.
