"This Week in Plasma" brings the news that System Settings' pages become "smart" and can mark themselves as "not relevant" if, for example, you do not have the hardware to use them. They can also export actions to the sidebar, allowing you to quickly toggle devices on and off. And Discover can now be opened directly from Install buttons on FlatHub.Read about this, and much more in Nate's blog post:blogs.kde.org/2025/08/09/this-#Plasma6 #OpenSource #desktop@kde@lemmy.kde.social

Though sometimes it's nice to see options even if not available. For example I didn't know KDE offered GUI to control Bluetooth adapters. My internal one in laptop is glitched and in GNOME you don't know which one will be used if you add external USB BT dongle. Meanwhile KDE offers simple toggle to turn off adapter of choice via GUI and thus only allowing USB BT to operate. For others like GNOME I had to fiddle with weird terminal commands to do it and edit config file, in KDE it was a simple toggle button that I could see. Just example.
