Yes, as a Debian user I am very excited for Plasma 6 in about 1 1/2 years
- as an arch user (btw), plasma 6 has already been installed from the future
  
  btw I use gentoo
  ...haaaaa, couldn't keep a straight face, nobody uses gentoo.
  
  As a fedora user im excited to have it in 2 months
- As another Debian user, I’m excited to get it in maybe a month or 2!
  
  Debian testing?
- yeah I wonder if I'll be able to switch to Wayland once it updates

KDE Plasma is amazing.
I am happy that they do Wayland as default now, the Wayland experience has long been flawless for me. I wonder when this update will hit the Steam Deck, since gamescope is Wayland I don't think Valve will go out of their way to enable X again.

it’s tomorrow??? i never keep up with any of this but i literally just installed endeavour with plasma 5 on an old laptop 2 days ago
(just realized i posted this on my alt on accident)
- unlucky lol
  
  Endeavour OS is based on Arch and therefore a rolling release distro. So Plasma 6 should come with regular updates, right?

As a Microsoft designer, I can't wait for this!

I didnt know but Ive been vibing on KDE's stuff a lot lately
- Plasma is a MOOD. I love the vibe! XD

KDE Plasma is bloat
- no >:( everything kde is perfect
- honestly yeah. KDE takes forever to start and the Klauncher and main menu are so slow they always open the wrong apps. It's infuriating because otherwise it's a competent DE with great customizability.
  
  Also doesn't have very good touch support, forget wayland vs x11, the interface of KDE just isn't suited for touch screens, using it on the Steam Deck is incredibly frustrating because the interface is so small and requires scrolling more often than not.

I'm really interested. I've never gotten into the way KDE does things, so I've always stuck to gnome, but I'm always happy to see development and diversity in FOS Software. I'll definitely check out some videos about it
- I've been using kde recently and been able to get the workflow to be pretty similar to gnomes with a small amount of effort. Only thing I'm missing is when I'm in overview I don't have access to the top bar or the dock.

Already used it since first betas, glad to see KRunner changes and the way VRR is handled on Wayland. Still waiting for fullscreen tearing though

Don't know when MX will get 6.0 but I am excited despite not knowing what any of the new features are. All I know is Plasma looks beautiful to me and that's why I like it.

HYPE

I couldn't wait, I'm already using it for that HDR support.

I bet it'll be a while before it's available on Steam Deck. So I won't get to see it until then.
- I feel you. I'm on Bazzite OS. :(

Yes ! It's been like 20 years since I last used KDE, but I'll install this once it's available in the arch repo, and maybe make it my daily driver if all goes well. I like GNOME but I like tweaking my DE and I'm sick of extensions breaking every other release.

I'm in Feb 28th already, it's not coming yet, where pama 6 >:(
- Maybe it's German time, since the organization managing the KDE project is based in Germany? So you'll have to wait somewhere between 15 minutes and 24h + 15min.

Eagerly awaiting it going to ~amd64 on gentoo. This is the milestone I set myself to try desktop linux on my main PC again.
- Remind me in a few hours to tell you how the merge went!
  
  Haha, godspeed. :P

That's cool and all, but when will it have denim
- Please expound on this. XD
  
  Lemmy's been obsessed with jeans lately

MY BODY IS READY
im really excited for It to hit the nix repos even though that could be in a while still.

I can't wait :3

xfce my beloved

SO EXCITED!!!!!

It's out right now but still in Arch testing.

I use KDE but unless its really a huge change or disrupts my defaults, I probably wont even notice

OpenSUSE user here, "patiently" waiting for it to hit the repos.
