Plasma 6.3 is here... and it's Pixel Perfect!

One year on from Plasma 6.0, and this is what you can expect in your next update: massive steps in the support and configuration of drawing tablets, pixel perfect window placing and zoom, extended hardware monitoring, even more customization possibilities, and so much more.

you can now configure its built-in touchpad to switch off automatically, so it doesn’t interfere with your typing.

That's awesome. This automates one thing which I commonly do.

I was wondering where this was because Plasma 6.3 was already being pushed to stable on Fedora.
Congrats on the release, can't wait to try it out.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social looks fantastic. Congrats on the release.

For a couple of days I'm forced to work with MacOS. KDE Plasma for the win! Nether thought about it beeing such a pleasant and soothing experience.

Thanks for your great work! I'm on it since the days back in the early 2000, never used something else for work for more than 12 years.

Keep going on, thanks!

I had a similar experience (Windows) some time back.

I am on KDE since mid of 90s (or so), and I never faced a better environment. Great work and many thanks to the #KDE team.

I'm back to making making Linux my daily driver, after 20 years, I tried @UniversalBlue #bluefin (gnome) and I find #Kinoite (now Aurora-dx) more to my taste. Thank you #KDE team!

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I used to be a heavy KDE user back in the 3.x days and got lost in the 4.x refactoring, moving on to tiling window managers and minimalist DEs. Fast-forward to recent times, and I've been using XFCE and Gnome a lot.

But this announcement really makes me curious to give it another whirl. #KDE has a track record of top notch aesthetics that has always intrigued me. Will test-drive on my Arch box on the weekend <3

"System Monitor monitors CPU usage more accurately, and consumes vastly fewer #CPU resources while doing it! If you’re using #Plasma 6.3 on #FreeBSD, you’re in luck: the System Monitor app and widgets can now collect #GPU statistics on your system too."

Awesome! 😃

@kde Did you fix the issue where one display would just stop updating (using Wayland and Nvidia)?

@Bro666 was replying to a mastodon post. Didn’t see they had put in a lemmy address. Removed it now.

[–] Bro666@lemmy.kde.social 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Still don't know who are you addressing. Are you addressing KDE's customer support desk? Because KDE hasn't got that. Or indeed customers. KDE is a non-profit, run by unpaid volunteer that makes free software available on the Internet. If there is something you don't like, instead of demanding a fix, you should consider joining the community and getting to work to make it happen.

[–] armerpunkt@mastodon.online 1 points 1 week ago

@Bro666 As I said was replying to a post on mastodon. I was not demanding anything. So please just leave me alone.

Looks great!

You have a typo in "DeutScher Wetterdienst" (missing S) 😉

[–] rejzor@mastodon.social 1 points 1 week ago

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social KDE always looked nice, but I really disliked how window frames looked different between different apps. Also the highlight lag on mouse hover over right side of main elements in "start" menu on most distros was annoying as hell.
