@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I'm getting Plasma 4 vs Plasma 5 flashbacks. π

Plasma 6 Bugs
If you encounter a bug, proceed to https://bugs.kde.org, check whether it has been reported.
If it hasn't, report it yourself.
PLEASE THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE POSTING HERE.
Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.
@kde@lemmy.kde.social Anything that makes #kde more lightweight is always welcome. Hope this will make faster and nimbler and probably help reduce power consumption?
I don't think many of those removals will have any impact on power consumption - at least not unless you're using them right now. Removing a non-default task switcher (if you don't use that currently) or theme (e.g. "Plasma Air") will help with maintainability of the code and more time for other work than hunting down issues in that task switcher or theme, though. This might result in freeing up time to work on other stuff. So, indirectly: it's possible.

I miss:
- old amarok
- actively developed oxygen qt style
- wallpaper per virtual desktop
- window tabs
- latte dock
- parachute
I will also miss:
- khotkeys
- plasma theme icons
- windowed widgets
- icon size settings
- some task switchers, I think
