Coming more than three months after KDE Plasma 6.6.6, the KDE Plasma 6.6.7 release adds support for monitoring GPU usage for Intel A380 GPUs, improves pasting very large PNG images, and updates the Plasma Discover package manager to show Snap versions of apps in the source selector menu rather than as separate apps.
Shelly is a modern alternative to Arch Linux’s default package manager, supporting third-party app stores like AUR and Flathub, Flatpak, AppImage, and native Arch Linux packages. Shelly comes with both graphical and command-line interfaces.
