@goss ok but why
Show threadWarriormasterFeb 22
@goss @hagbard Curious to know why. For me, Plasma 6.x has been pretty good and much more stable than 5.27.

I really like how ever since the start of those donation drives, you can feel the desktop get noticeably better every release. More useful stuff, optimizations, better consideration of UX and polish, etc. Maybe I'm just imagining it, but it definitely feels that way since the start of 6.0 (about when those drives started).

Heck I can't even remember the last time I encountered a bug in a non testing version of KDE. I'm sure they still exist, but it seems rarer to run into them now.

Plasma desktop is the only desktop I use these days. Everything just works out of the box and even though it's still buggy, from time to time, it is the most feature rich and customizable experience on any OS that I've ever used.
Kudos to the plasma team. They are doing wonders

@thelinuxexperiment I love the OCR feature in spectacle. It speeds up some things I do a lot and I loved it on my Mac at work.

Awewom! Plasma is going steady but solid! All the tiny bits make a tool feel like a glove :3

So I'm guessing there is still now way to globally change the scroll bar size to something wider than a hairline!

It's my favourite too. Mind you KDE has been my favourite DE since 2000.

A lot of the 'new' changes are already in 6.5, not all, but many of them.

For OCR in spectacle -> options -> configure spectacle -> general. There is a subtle tooltip. You have to install the tesseract package + tesseract language packages of your choice. Thanks for another nice video!

Plasma 6.6 is a technical marvel and a big up yours to the Gnome devs busily removing functionality with every release. However to put it in transportation terms, I don't need a space shuttle to go buy milk. Most of the time my needs are quite well catered to by Lxqt on OpenSUSE

@thelinuxexperiment Install tesseract-ocr tesseract-ocr-eng to get spectacle text recognition working.
