Plasma 6 Release Candidate 1 has landed.
We are less than 50 days away from the final version of #Plasma6.
Along with Frameworks 6 and KDE Gear 24.02, the Megarelaease on the 28th of February will be one of the biggest and more complex upgrades in KDE's history.
One more RC will be released on the 31st of January and then it will be (hopefully) clear sailing until the final release.
IMPORTANT
Please note that release candidates, although often called "sneak peeks", are still work in progress and must be installed and used with extreme care. They will contain bugs, some of which may still be critical. Do not use this software in production environments. Use for testing only.

Two more that didn’t make it over from Matrix:
😬 Unfortunately not the official version, no, as that would have to come from the VDG, but take a look her, see if you can find what you need.
Also there are versions of the wallpapers in several sizes in the original topic.
I’m happy to announce we have selected the finalists for the Plasma 6 wallpaper competition! As a bit of an insight, we received more than 250 submissions, most of which were of extraordinary quality. Choosing just six finalists has been extremely tough, requiring multiple rounds of discussion and voting. I want to thank everyone who submitted an entry. The fact that so many of you spent time and energy to help out this community means a lot. We’ve received super-cute wallpapers featuring Konq...

"one of the biggest and more complex upgrades in KDE's history"
...there was four... and then all of a sudden there was five... it was so confusing and... I think... now it never stops!!!! 😣 😫 😭
While cutting edge testing distribution such as @[email protected] are going Wayland only and the proponents of such move say that this push is required to shake things out. I would like to highlight some of the things which are not there yet on the graphic tablet configuration front on @[email protected] 's plasma wayland. 🧵1
Yeah nah
It looks just as similar to pretty much any desktop interface of the past 40 years, and openwindows isn’t even the first thing with that design
As silly as it sounds, the new taskbar modification pop up. Dragging the taskbar from one side of the screen to another was a point of jank that took away from the polish of the desktop. The floating panel retaining proper proportions upon maximizing windows is also a nice fix.
I think I’m most looking forward to Plasma becoming more polished overall. I like that this release isn’t completely revolutionary like 4 to 5 was. It’s about removing things that don’t work that well and tightening up what does.
