my graphics tablet wouldn't detect on arch, but it's been a few months; a few drivers got updated. think I can find the energy to poke around for an hour or tw-

it. just works. yippee

Very "funny". Gentoo pushed update to Plasma version 6.4.0 with a new default USE setting for kwin to not set X (would say because I saw -X change in the emerge -pv output for it and had not set +X by hand myself).
I am using Wayland, my Plasma session is using Wayland but KDE does not start with kwin without [X] set, the session returns to login screen of SDDM after a few seconds of a black screen and disc activity. 🤦
Brilliant.
Set X, recompiled kwin and am back.

KDE Plasma 6.4 released

A new version of KDE Plasma, 6.4, is now live to the public after many weeks of new features, performance improvements, and bug fixes. The official announcement has been made to let users know about Plasma 6.4 and how it improves your desktop experience.

The Plasma developers declare this version as feeling more like /home, because it became smoother, friendlier, and more helpful. The improvements come to nearly every front from the main desktop to the applications, such as accessibility, color rendering, tablet support, windows management, and more.

• Windows management: The window management has been improved to allow you to select the tiles on each virtual desktop, which improves your productivity. Other layout combination means that you can create any kind of layout order in a way that best suits you and your workflow.
• Accessibility features: More accessibility features have been added to Plasma to make users in need of such features have better experience. For example, mouse movement can be made using your keyboard’s number pad, or you can zoom in and out using your three fingers on your touchpad.
• Visual Design and User Interface: The foreground and the background element contrast has been increased to make the UI more balanced. Breeze Dark has become darker than before to make UI elements and text pop more. In addition to more improvements being made, the authentication dialog is now more focused by simulating the “lights out” effect, helping users focus on the login dialog.
• Notification system: Performing the file transfer operation now shows you a more detailed notification that shows you the transfer speed. You can install software updates directly from the notification. Also, full-screen applications will enable Do Not Disturb, making urgent notifications show up, and the less important ones will show up as a summary when you exit a full-screen app.
• Improved screenshots: The screenshot application, Spectacle, has been improved by improving its look for the better, which is a significant change from KDE Plasma 6.3. Also, WebM screen recordings have been improved to record in high quality, in addition to the same improvement landing on recordings with fractional scaling.

Linux distributions will begin distributing this version of KDE Plasma soon. You can also download the source code of KDE Plasma 6.4

Não gosta do Gnome? O KDE Plasma 6.4 já está aqui

This is why I prefer faster updates on distros I use and didn't want to have to wait a long time for things if I chose Linux Mint again. A lot of these changes are things I'm looking forward to and didn't know were being worked on.
