This week in KDE: Final Plasma 6.1 polishing and new features for 6.2

6.1 isn't out yet, and I can't wait for 6.2 already.
- Genuinely feels great to be hopeful about some parts of technology/software like this. I eagerly look forward to an update from KDE and sometimes GNOME.
  Compare that to Google, Microsoft, any other public big tech, I start to just question why I'm not living in the forest as a new member of a Bigfoot extended family.
  
  Every update on Google or MS: Oh god please no.
  Every update on FOSS apps, Linux: Give me more daddy.

Hey KDE Team: 😘 ❤️ Please don't ever change!

I'm weirdly excited about password-less lockscreens.
- How would that work? I couldn't find it in that post.
  
  I have seen it mentioned elsewhere, such as https://www.phoronix.com/news/Plasma-6.1-Last-Minute-Features.

Oh good. 6.1 seems to fix the only bugs that have personally bothered me. I’m stoked!

Was hoping to see a fix for the right click menu randomly deciding to open as a window.

Hey, we worked at your airport for 4 months last year

KDE is the best desktop environment. KDE is proof GNOME is a fricking hot garbage
- While I love KDE, why do we have to have this mentality? I don't care how much of a joke it is or not, just let people use what they want to use. I've never used GNOME and I'm not about to start commenting about it but I do know there are a ton of people who use it and love it as much as I love KDE. It's like the whole Android vs iPhone debate; who fucking cares?
  
  Tribalism is fun
  
  While there's something to be said for Android vs iPhone from an ideological standpoint, that also doesn't apply for KDE and Gnome, both of which are OSS, bay-bee
  
  theyre just farming engagement. lukewarm takes are the lifeblood of good ecosystems but generally ignored on social web.
- It's not garbage and if anything, it makes plasma better by being a bit of competition and offering simplicity.
  I think it's more similar to the mac idea of simplicity, but there isn't much new features.
  
  Gnome is way better that Mac OS
- What a garbage take. Use what you want, homie.
- In my opinion the title of best desktop is a tie between Plasma, GNOME, and NsCDE. They are all amazing in their own ways and I switch between them all the time.
  (Hyprland would be in there if the developer wasn't a jerk but I'm not willing to use it anymore because he is stupid)
  
  I'm out of the loop what happened
- Why tho? I mean I love KDE and it's my daily driver DE but I also like Gnome it's modern sleek and actually original from other DE which is just Windows Explorer/Mac DE that's also include KDE
  
  I can be mistaken, but maybe he does not mean the quality and usability of Gnome desktop environment itself. I had to guess if I say he means the way it is organized and the decisions are made, which is totally different from the more free approach of KDE. Maybe I am reading too much into it, but that is what I think, maybe because that is the problems I personally have.
- Gnome is way more put together than Plasma 6 at this point in time. Its rock solid reliable.
  I keep gnome as my stable laptop setup, and Plasma as my tinkering with games setup. This outlines both of their strengths individually.
- Gnome is amazing, you have no idea what you're talking about.
  You're probably too dumb to realise this, but people like you put people off of the projects they aggressively simp for.
- I can't use KDE for anything that requires stability and ease of use. It isn't bad but gnome and KDE slightly different use cases.
