KDE Gear 23.04 Open-Source Software Suite Officially Released, Here’s What’s New
KDE Gear 23.04 brings much-needed updates to the Dolphin file manager like the ability to configure how permissions are shown in the Details view, support for browsing Apple iOS devices using the native afc:// protocol, the ability to run it in superuser mode, and support for showing a document’s number of pages in the metadata display.
The Gwenview image viewer has been beefed up for the Plasma Wayland session allowing users to zoom in and out on images using touchpad pinch gestures, the ability to inhibit sleep and screen locking during a slideshow, more reliable rotating of images, and smooth zooming when using Ctrl + scroll on a touchpad.

New apps join KDE Gear ⚙️ 23.04 and unlock access to fledgling social media platforms, online video streaming services, podcasts, and much more. This new generation of apps are designed to work both on your computer and mobile phone right out of the box.
But, of course, if you are also looking forward to new versions of the KDE tools you already know and trust, those are here too! Classics like Spectacle, Dolphin, Kdenlive, Kate, and Okular all boast shiny new features, code optimizations, and performance improvements.
