Plasma 6 hält Einzug in Debian sid (Teil 1/2)
Vor ein paar Wochen kam Plasma 6 in die Repos von Debian sid. Wir schauen uns an, was es Neues zu entdecken gibt.
Nach Jahren mit #ArchLinux ist so ein großes Systemupgrade bei #Manjaro sehr ungewohnt. War auch nur ein bißchen holprig, seit dem zweiten Update-Rutsch sind auch Flatpaks und Runtimes aktuell und ich hab wieder Anwendungen im Menü. Und KDE #Plasma_6.
