KDE Plasma 6.0 will be released in February 2024.
KDE developer Nate Graham revealed the release date in a blog post giving a top-level overview of Plasma 6 development to date, writing:
Graham says he feels ‘confident that the release will be in excellent shape by then’, and adds that another 5 months of development will offer ‘enough of a runway for a solid final release’.
Exciting stuff.
Development on KDE Plasma 6 kicked off (heh) earlier this year. The desktop side is now built using Qt 6 technologies. This unlock support for new features, capabilities (including enhancements to ‘convergence’ implementations), and further future-proofing.
Earlier this KDE developers met up in Berlin, Germany to work on the next-generation of the KDE Plasma desktop. A number of interesting details came out of that sprint, including a decision to adopt a slower release cadence.
Sadly a release date wasn’t part of that info dump, so it’s great to finally have one. Something to jot down in our calendars to be able to look forward to.
I have written a bit about KDE Plasma 6 new features, like using double-click by default (and tap-to-click by default too), redesigning the task switcher; and adding accent color tinting to the header bar area of app windows.
But with a further 5 months of development to come, chances are we’ll get more goodies to gush over as the newly-announced release window gets closer.
Not that you need to wait until February 2024 to try KDE Plasma 6.
Beta builds of the next-gen release are going be made available soon (though exactly when is TBC), and those not averse to riding the bleeding edge can try KDE Plasma 6 in KDE neon Unstable Edition.
The post Devs Announce KDE Plasma 6 Release Date is from OMG! Linux and reproduction without permission is, like, a nope.
