"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

Although not ready for texting yet, it has been making progress. Hopefully it'll be in a screen near you soon.

The latest issue of "This week in Plasma" brings the news that now there's a pop-up preview for folders on the desktop that are empty, that the Plasma Virtual Keyboard is coming along nicely, and that screen recordings of specific windows now capture that window's popups too:blogs.kde.org/2025/07/05/this-#Plasma6 #FreeBSD #OpenSource @kde@lemmy.kde.social
@DrinkyBird @kde@lemmy.kde.social Yes, that is what it means.
@mrgaturus @redstrate @kde@lemmy.kde.social Right. Maybe submit a bug report?:bugs.kde.orgIt sounds like the kind of issue the folks of the "We care about your Input" goal would want to tackle.
