"This Week in Plasma" brings the news that the second beta for Plasma 6.5 is ready for testing, the Emoji Selector understands your language, and we also get a glimpse into what is coming to Plasma 6.6:

A screen capture showing the Emoji Selector and someone typing int "cere"... for "cerezas" (cherries) into the search box. The Selector is already responding showing pictures of cherries, cherry blossom, a brain "cerebro", etc.

"This Week in Plasma" brings Plasma 6.5 beta to your desktop. May the bug-fix-a-palooza Begin!

Stuff to look out for include an even smarter KRunner, easier access to System Tray actions, and a more informative launcher menu.

blogs.kde.org/2025/09/20/t...

#Plasma6 #opensource #linux #freesoftware

A screenshot shows how KRunner recognizes number group separators (to indicate thousands, millions, etc.) and performs correct mathematical calculations despite them.

A screenshot shows how right-clicking on the icon of a System tray widget brings up a menu that allows you to quickly access its actions.

A screenshot shows KDE's app launcher menu showing a "No matches" message when it can't find what you are searching for (in this case "flugelhorns").

I mean, come on! You'll only find flugelhorns growing under dumbleberries in the early days of the month of Splinf, silly!

i think the biggest thing I wish there was for nixOS was an on-change config file parser that could update home-manager options in my git repo any time I make a change to my editor or whatever, because writing out plasma6 config stuff by hand is pretty terrible

Okay I love the KDE 6 overview of all workspaces in combination with the search. This allows me to switch apps blazing fast without ever touching my mouse.

It's such an workflow optimized desktop environment.

"This Week in Plasma" brings you windows with rounded corners (which can be made square again if you wish), adjustable sidebars for Discover and System Monitor, and the work in progress to improve KRunner's search results:

nixos with kde plasma6 + wayland has been a challenge but a good opportunity to be off of gnome, but closer to redeployable

Puede que resucitar el asus ROG, meterle mint con Plasma6 y conectarlo a la tv del salón haya sido la decisión clave de la semana?
Yo digo que si.

Bon, finalement LinuxMint c'était pas top, j'ai switché sur Nobara pour la compatibilité avec Plasma6 (j'avais besoin du hdr)
Et puis ca a l'air plus chouette comme environnement, LM ressemblait trop à Windows ☺️

@bazub.zubko.cc

Re-discovering now #openSUSE along with #KDE #Plasma6. The whole experience is butter-smooth and outstanding overall. Not sure why people keep bitching about the lack of a proper #linux on the desktop - it is already here.
