Long time KDE user. As in "back to the 1990s" long.

A new systemd dependency bothers me.

Why? I run FreeBSD. We have no need for something that started as a service manager and became basically the entire Linux operating system.

BSD is not Linux.

    Thanks for sharing. As a Linux newb with a laptop running Fedora, I'm now curious whether I can download and use Plasma 6.7 or will it be distributed with the next Fedora update? 😊

    It should be available in just a few days at most.

    Do you mean as part of Fedora 44 or as an update?

    Yeah, it should come with the next Fedora release, which is scheduled for October 20th.

    Feature updates, like this new Plasma version, get shipped every half year on Fedora. In between, you mostly just get security and bug fixes...

    While that's the case for the Workstation (GNOME), in KDE Plasma version the desktop environment is a rolling release. It shouldn't take more than a a few days, considering their previous Plasma releases.

    Sadly didn't fix the one bug that's driven me crazy since switching...

    The start menu and krunner needs to stop launching programs before I'm done typing.

    Hit start, type "kwr," hit enter. Konsole opens.

    Why? Because when I typed "K," it autocompleted to Konsole. And instead of waiting to resolve the remaining characters, it just launches whatever is selected.

    Really tired of accidentally opening games when I'm already playing a game

    Why would it ever launch programs before a user has finished specifying? How would one ever run anything other than calculator?

    Because - and I'm not defending this behavior - it launches the highlighted program as if you were navigating with arrows

    Oh man that's also terrible. Or a great way to launch 15 programs just by swiping through a list.

    It's just the one since the start menu/krunner disappear after launching something.

    I just have to wait like 200ms but....I use AutoCAD for a living. I type commands and hit enter thousands of times a day. Really hard habit to break and frankly, I don't want to break it!
