KDE Neon shows that Plasma 6 is something truly special
KDE Plasma 6 is here and for those of you who were anxiously awaiting its arrival, you won't be disappointed. For those who've never tried Linux or KDE Plasma, now is a great time to do so. It's smooth, it's beautiful, it's stable, and it's ready for prime time.
This also happens to be a "Megarelease." What does that even mean? Is KDE Plasma bigger than ever? Not necessarily. Is it bolder, fresher, and better tasting? Maybe. "Megarelease" means that it not only includes KDE Plasma 6, but also, KDE Frameworks 6.0, and KDE Gear 24.02 apps. In other words, everything that comes together to make the KDE Desktop work as a well-oiled machine has all been updated to the latest release.
