The new Welcome app will open after a fresh KDE install. It explains the basics, like how to connect to the internet or how to change settings, but it also presents a bunch of great features Plasma has and never really talked about before.
While Kwin won't replace a full tiling window manager, it now has the ability to create tiling layouts, and then to place windows in the various tiles you created. To set up a tiling layout, you press Super + T, and you'll get that overview, with a default layout, in 3 columns. And then, once your layout suits you, all you have to do is drag a window while holding Shift, and your window will automatically occupy the tiling zone it's sitting above.
The widgets and tools have received so many improvements that even in this lengthy section, I can't list them all. First, Krunner got a, update to surface more relevant search results. When hovering over widgets, they'll tell you what you can expect if you middle click them. The tooltips have also been greatly improved.
The calendar widget now also supports the Hebrew calendar. The battery monitor shows the status of connected devices, the media applet now has 2 layouts, one for horizontal panels, and one for vertical panels, with the album art only.
The color picker can now show up to 9 colors, and clicking a color will automatically copy it to the clipboard, with a notification. The weather widget can now display the temperature in the task bar.
Folder view now lets you show hidden folders, pop up notes will make links clickable by default, and Kickoff now supports separators in the menu. The wallpaper list should be much faster, changing wallpapers now uses a transition animation.
Floating panels will be automatically de floated when a window touches them, and they'll use less padding and less space in that defloated mode. The breeze theme now has an outline around windows in dark mode, which makes them more easy to parse at a glance, trying to use a VPN will prompt you to install the relevant plugin.
Plasma now supports high resolution scrolling under wayland, and they now support content types, which lets the compositor adjust the display's refresh rate depending on what you're doing.
Fractional scaling is also now natively supported under Wayland. When sharing your screen on wayland, the window picker will now have thumbnails to let you decide what you want to share.
And there's also a new setting to let Xwayland application access global shortcuts.
Plasma revamped multi monitor support, so all panels, windows, wallpapers, and widgets are saved per monitor, and restored when a monitor is plugged back in.
Next are flatpak permissions. They have their own new settings page, that lets you review what applications have access to, and give them more permissions, or remove some.
Discover will now show more flatpak permissions on application pages. The homepage has received a new look. The "all applications" button is also now back in the sidebar, and when you're searching for something, if nothing is available, you'll get a message and a button to search the whole store.

    That's actually why I went with GNOME. KDE just felt bloated and reminded me of Windows ,which I tried to get away from, not only due to privacy but the whole concept. I absolutely love dconf-editor / gsettings and use it as often as possible. I don't want to go into a GUI app with a thousand options (in KDEs case) and have to click on stuff, drag things, or copy my home folder, where KDE crates a billion "rc" files. Though I'm slowly considering giving KDE another shot given how many more features it has, and GNOME lib-adwaita situation, where you literally have to log out for the new theme to be applied to everything. Plus I already use quite a few KDE/qt productivity and media consumption apps anyway (but flatpaked/sandboxed) and absolutely can't stand the GNOME ones. Few things I really dislike about KDE are how integrated its components were last time I used it. In GNOME I have even uninstalled the software center and no issues. The other is the absolutely weird way in which KDE/Dolphin mounts new devices (in some made up folders that only Dolphin knows about). And the third is the blatenent disrespect towards masterrace users like myself when Dolphin, Kate etc. literally forbade me from running them as "sudo" from the terminal. That's why I said KDE felt like Windows to me. Who do you think you are trying to tell me what to do?

I went "a little crazy" and put EndeavourOS on my laptop this weekend, with the latest KDE no less. It was pretty painless... Until I shot myself in the foot and broke the KDE environment after trying to install Sway/Wayland on there. KDE wouldn't start correctly. Exactly the kind of stupid thing I knew I'd do to myself so I went and reinstalled with Kubuntu 23.04 daily while waiting for the stable release. Feels like home as I'm exclusively working with Ubuntu servers and previously (years ago) used Ubuntu on the desktop. It's nice to use desktop linux again after many years on MacOS and Win 10.

    The tiling feature indeed doesn't have keyboard shortcuts.

I mean as soon as everyone figures out the new global shortcut Wayland protocol...

Yesterday I stumbled on the video about installing Tuxedo Linux on a none Tux laptop so I gave it a try on my old Dell XPS. Man, I really like this and it has Plasma which I'm seeing for the first time. I really really like it and it is a keeper, at least on my laptop. It's on Plasma 5.24 and it looks like Tux has not offered 5.27 yet but I like what I see so far. I haven't gone down the whole self hosting bit yet but I have switched from MS Onedrive to pCloud ( Switzerland servers ) so I am slowly trying to get away from big tech. I'm trying!

    That tiling system is very cool! Seeing it in action it's less like a tiling WM or Pop's tiling system and more like the Fancy Zones tool in Windows. Except a lot more powerful and flexible. This is a great thing. I really loved Fancy Zones in Windows, but it was always a bit of a messy implementation. It's also great to see KDE add some much needed spit and polish. Seeing Wayland finally become a first class citizen on KDE makes me smile. The transition is finally falling into place. Also, Discover is really coming together. All of this is getting me really excited for KDE 6. We really are spoiled for choice when it comes to excellent DEs on Linux.

Most people wouldn't go out of there way to look up "telemetry" in settings, but if they stumble across it they might think to change it. Telemetry is one of those things people won't ever really go out of their way to act on, but will usually act on it if they just see it passively.

    @@spl420 I do think there will be a theme refresh to Breeze, as well as further customization options and (of course) the move to Qt 6. But yeah, it's more of a moderate update; bigger than KDE Plasma 5.26 to 5.27, but smaller than the move from KDE 4 to KDE Plasma 5.

    I went with KDE Fedora on my first graphcal linux desktop last month (daily driving chromebook for half a year already, long story, it was painful but made me learn terminal) and i was curious why gnome seemed to be all the talk with kde as a second choice. Didnt know that the glory i witnessed was not even 3 months old. Incredible stuff. I even convinced few windows users with its prettiness and customisability

    I have a question about Discover and Manjaro. When you start Manjaro KDE the first time you can install apps with the Manjaro Hello screen and also with Discover and the default GUI packet manager. But what is the best way on Manjaro? Should I use discover or the default GUI? With Manjaro Hello I am a bit sceptical.

    Just a note about Wayland's scaling. KDE can use the native scaling methods in the app's toolkit. This is an important detail because neither Qt5 nor GTK4 implement this scaling yet. Qt6 has it, meaning we won't see much benefit to this change in practice until Plasma 6 or until that scaling mechanism is back-ported to Qt5.

    I mean, it could be coming with KDE Plasma 6. I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't make the final cut for Plasma 6 due to time constraints, but I _would_ be surprised if it _wasn't_ added soon (as well as Wayland touchpad gesture configuration).
