Thanks again for the talk ❤

My goodness. Dream come true: KDE KZbin collaborations become the norm.

[@anditosan]

I am happy to discuss guidelines and their origins. We have definitively not kept up with them in terms of modern design systems and we are hoping to change that.

[@BruSilveira0]

Plasma is far ahead of the rest, *maintaining the concept of the true Desktop*.

[@BrokenKanuck]

Plasma is an absolute joy to use. Thank you for all your work.

Am I the only one imagining Nicco closing the call and rushing to figure out why the window resizing didn't animate

This collaboration might be my favourite just yet not just bcos of how organic it feels, but also Michael actually asked some really, really important/interesting questions I've not seen discussed before (or much of it at least) like how tedious 4 finger gestures are. Apple's gestures are definitely the most natural/intuitive I think, even the 5 finger gesture it has is more natural to use (also not very commonly needed) than relying on 4. At the moment, I use Touche to configure the gestures for three-up to open the "Overview" view, three-down to "ExposeClass", and leave three-left/right to switch desktops (which I think is more than enough for most users who don't even know/rely on virtual desktops).

It would be cool if you linked Michael's video. Other than that, thank you for the work you are doing in plasma

Please tell me zoom is now in a logical place like Accessibility rather than being bundled with Desktop Effects. I understand it may be seen as an "effect" but that means nothing to a user who is looking for an accessibility option. Just found it rather strange, not exactly user friendly and dated having been left like that for so long. I hope it has changed or will be changed eventually. Great content btw. My favourite Linux channel. Hope you're having a great day.

I just hope that customizable touchpad gestures come to the Plasma Wayland session soon! I mean, even Cinnamon has them on XOrg (they aren't 1 : 1, but still, they're customizable)!

Enjoyed this conversation, I am really digging KDE plasma 6, I'm using it on bare metal and looking forward to its final release.

[@russjr08]

I've been testing out Plasma 6 from the kde-unstable Arch repos, I noticed there are some really nice new sounds! At least, I assume they're from Plasma 6 and not something that I accidentally installed at around the same time 😄

[@johnnylee3505]

Possible different wallpaper for different virtual desktop, please. 😉

[@oredaze]

I just wish oxygen continues to work. I really don't like flat design. It's unfortunate we don't have more options.

[@mahtja1559]

If KDE ever adopts dynamic workspaces, I promise I'll come back lol.

[@enderpirate9887]

I wish I could install more themes on Bazzite the normal way instead of having to download and install them manually so that is the one area I wish for improvement in Plasma 6.

[@koloved1]

hi nicco ! will W icons on panel fix in plasma 6 ?

[@francootaola9172]

nico, is it possible to change the timing of when it suggest to snap to a corner? when we have two screens it is too slow to be usable. (in the share edge of the two screens ie, middle)

[@s9209122222]

Is Plasma6 really going to support HDR? If it is true, I will switch from Gnome to KDE, and use the Gnome-like Plasma desktop.

[@amigaworkbench720]

I was hoping for that deepin look&feel, the one that Windows 11 stolen...
