       | I'm glad they like the improvements (I certainly do) but you'll
       | be hard pressed to extract what those actually are. This is kinda
       | understandable, as plasma 6 is good because it's a _massive
       | accumulation_ of lots of little fixes where usability was
       | examined and adjusted rather than "major feature x and y". But I
       | don't think most of us are here for feel good fluff for clicks.

       | I instead recommend looking at this developer's personal blog if
       | you want to read something substantial:

       | 
       | The official blog is a decent general overview of the status of
       | releases. FYI they are currently cleaning up some issues from the
       | recent user facing release that weren't in unstable/testing:

       | I didn't like how this article is written, it feels like the
       | signal to noise ratio is terrible. I agree with the conclusion
       | that KDE may be the best DE available for GNU available these
       | days. It was the only DE to seamless support my multiscreen,
       | mixed DPI, mixed refresh rates setup. And it wasn't complicated,
       | I just turned scaling on for two of my monitors on the Settings
       | menu, set the right refresh rate values, and everything just
       | worked.
       | 
       | I hope they keep doubling down on bug fixing and being functional
       | for end users.

         | KDE, but also criticizes where appropriate, and he just writes
         | really good, well researched articles.
