Article Summaries:
- KDE released Plasma 6.6 this week, a solid update that is already gathering a backlog of bug‑fixes for the upcoming 6.6.1 point release. 6.6.1 will address KWin crashes linked to intensive input‑method usage, apply regression fixes, and improve animation performance by better leveraging the Wayland Presentation Time protocol. Meanwhile, development on Plasma 6.7 is accelerating. Key 6.7 features include virtual‑desktop switching via scrolling or Page Up/Down, optional stylus‑pointer sync on Wayland, System Monitor respecting binary‑unit settings, and smarter auto‑scaling for 100 %, 200 %, and 300 % displays. Further details are available on KDE’s blog.
