System Settings’ Printers page now guides you through the process of installing the system-config-printer package to improve printer detection, if it wasn’t pre-installed by your distro (Mike Noe, Plasma 6.1. Link)
This is really good! It may still be needed for stuff like plasma-workspace-extras, the sddm kcm, the flatpak kcm etc?
Weren’t the devs also supposed to be adding the ability to rebind the overview to just the super key (like GNOME)? Is that still in the works?
anyone knows what the sleeping cat in the thumbnail is?
I’ve never seen this widget before
The comments in the OP link say it’s Catwalk. I don’t know what Catwalk is though. 🙂
Edit: it’s a CPU monitor.
Dolphin now includes a feature to move the selected items into a new folder, all at once
This one feels awkward
It feels to me that it’s looking to replace the Cut and Paste operations. This makes perfect sense for a tactile device, but I don’t feel like Dolphin is tactile ready - other KDE apps like Index intend to cover that ground instead.
System Settings’ Background Services page is no longer actually visible in System Settings by default; everything here is an implementation detail
Sooo… will Plasma convert all these services to systemd services that can actually be disabled in a normal way?
That settings page was always only semi useful as the most important ones were missing. But disabling stuff like Orca, KDEConnect, accessibility, legacy adapters etc. should be possible.

This doesnt work currently as KDE has multiple mechanisms to launch these (and maybe I dont really know how to do systemd stuff)
