KDE absolutely ridiculing Windows yet again

Meanwhile Microsoft broke the fucking Notepad

KDE is awesome. Congrats to all people involved with it.

Spectacle OCR is fantastic news. That is really going to simplify one of my current workflows.

The volume slider with a scroll wheel over the taskbar icons is such a clever little addition. It makes so much sense. I can’t believe nobody else thought of this.

Sounds like KDE is also doing a lot of work that will be helpful on phones, nice!

You can also filter windows out of a screencast by choosing a special option from the pop-up menu that appears when right-clicking a window’s title bar:

An option to hide windows from Spectacle, when recording a screencast. Admittedly I am not much of a screencast person, but its good to know in case I need it as I have some future plans. So I could have some notes or the web browser open in same virtual desktop I am recording from.

I am so happy we have such a good desktop option, they are constantly putting out great features :D

How about Plasma Login Manager?

Oh boy, feature freeze for Ubuntu 26.04 is on Thursday. Hopefully, they still include this update.

My work laptop unfortunately comes with Kubuntu LTS and I desperately want the virtual-desktops-only-on-the-primary-screen feature on there. Currently, I'm the guy that actively disables all but one screen, because my workflow does not work at all with the secondary screen switching in sync with the primary screen.

I'm still sticking to Gnome but I love these features and how more polished KDE looks with every update (even though I still think they need to perfect some details). It makes me really happy to know we have these really important projects being libre.

Nice. KDE is looking schmick. Congrats to the KDE team.

The ability to have virtual desktops only on the primary screen

sigh. I guess. I think I just need to settle on the fact KDE is never going to allow dedicated virtual desktops per monitor. I really want to use Plasma but this is a deal breaker for me.

Damn, I just love KDE, but my Linux Mint doesn’t support it anymore so I have to satisfy Cinnamon.

been waiting on the global theme thing so I can save my weird setup and not have to rebuild it every time I switch distros (and I need a reinstall because I did something the computer said not to and have weird issues now)

OCR in Spectacle is amazing. Need to test it out.            

(To me its amazing enough that i infodumped a fellow employee)

Scrolling while hovering over taskbar icons to control that app's volume? The future is now!

Its always so amusing to read the improvements and see how they are genuinely making the desktop better for users, and then compare to what windows is doing.

One thing I miss from Windows is the Meta+. key combo to pop up the emoji selector, and then clicking to insert.

I don’t like how it currently just puts it in the clipboard an expects me to manually paste it in, interrupting my flow when I have something more important in my clipboard.

Loading this page on Firefox mobile crashes Firefox. Every time I try and open it. Is this happening for anyone else ?

It also crashes Voyager if I open the link directly without going "open in Firefox"

Looks like a lot of small improvements and polish. Can't wait to give it a go.

Alt-double-click to open Properties on a file is straight out of Windows. It's something I really missed!

OCR for screenshots sounds super cool :0

Proceeds to furiously type pacman -Syu
