This guy alone is improving KDE and modernizing it in more ways than in a year than it did in the last many years. What you are doing is just unbelievable and I never thought that KDE or any DE could improve this much, this fast. UI/UX improvements are a must in this modern software world. You are literally transforming KDE in something that can actually be used by common people. Thank you :)
Thanks for adding the "intelegently hide panel" option. The gestures, the panel, everything looks sooo good. Can't wait to try plasma 6. ( But take your time, don't rush the release. I'd much prefer to wait to have a bug free launch).
Yeap "Intelli Hide" a feature that the panel had been missing, it does everything else(including the kitchen sink) except the most important and used feature of a panel "Intelli Hide" and glad to see this come in to the next plasma release
Very nice update. That's quite a few quality of life features and a nice new look. Keep up the good work. More suggestions & feedback↓ suggestions & feedback: The UI could use a more consistent flow and design. Get rid of the sharp edges. And native life wallpaper support, would be nice in the form of wallpaper engine or its own separate implementation, add alternative or similar features to latte dock because it is very missed by the community (including myself) and uncap the minimum height of the hovering taskbar/dock it is very frustrating when trying to customize the layout to be similar to latte dock's implementation when you can't set a custom size. (For some reason when I updated on my arch distribution the panel transparency switch in the panel customization settings does not work. Just reverts back to whatever it was originally set to in my case transparent, but it is not actually transparent at all and is not set to adaptive in any way)
I'm a XFCE/GNOME guy myself, but I'm able to recognize passion and excelence. You have both of them. Thanks 4 your "mostly free" work on "mostly free" software. Liked and subscripted.
@longballlarrydavidhe probably means KDE is built on top of QT, which is a proprietary toolkit owned by a company, that has a contract with KDE that allows them to use it, but can be revoked at any time. The mostly free work probably means he gets some money too.
The intelligent hide is actually very useful to me. I don't like "bring mouse down to show the dock" and I would much rather prefer for it to stay hidden, until I press a certain key. Plasma, sadly, did not have an option to just hide the panel, but had one to show up. With this new option I would achieve basically what I wanted, except the dock would still show up when no windows are invading it, which I think is also rather nice
Just a suggestion here the "dock" should allow a 3d zoom on hover like macOS dock or Latte-dock.. tbh since latte-dock is pretty much dead be good to have feature parity in KDE so we aren't dependent on third party docks.. of course I don't expect this on release but be a decent future goal for the "dock"
This would be amazing if they can implement it, as window management feature wise Plasma panels are among the best already. But it's probably a job for some widget instead of the global panel as those can already dynamically resize to content, accommodating such an animation. As Latte-dock is getting more broken with updates and will break on Plasma 6 and as currently the panel based dock has an issue with randomly launching apps on mouseover, I now use another program. Cairo-Dock, with a script to launch another instance on the other screen (copy config files to /tmp, sed the display config, launch from this), still works very well, despite not having been updated since 2014 and recently it's project site having gone dark.
The two-directional gestures sound especially interesting for Plasma Mobile - being able to "immediately switch app to the last active one" with an "up and swipe right" motion (not dissimilar to Android) sounds neat.
I'm so happy I fell down the Linux rabbit hole. I'm thankfully in a non-stressful financial situation, so I'm trying to funnel the extra money I make from my part-time teaching job into FOSS projects as much as I can, namely Joplin, Godot, among others. Can't wait to subscribe to your Patreon once that becomes available to me!
As someone who wants to support FOSS but can't really because of a stressful financial situation, thank you so much! It's always heartwarming to see people/passions thrive thanks to support
That merge request about 2D gestures on GNOME Shell didn't actually land yet (afaik), so when it lands we'll be the ones copying you guys! Awesome work, love that panel configurations window.
I really like the new overview. As a KDE user for many years, this is something that I always dreamed of. I was hoping for something that is comparable to the Mission Control in macOS, but this new overview is much better than that, beyond my best imagination. Thank you so much!
The most logical behaviour for resolving conflicting gestures in 2D is to apply whichever direction has a greater displacement. This means that whenever a gesture is almost diagonal between conflicting effects small movements of the finger should cause the active effect to rapidly animate to 0 and then the alternative to rapidly animate to match its own displacement. This gives the impression of a light switch, which can be precariously balanced between the two options but a small nudge swings it from one direction to another.
@@Ryan-ct3rv The alternatives I can think of are either a sharp cut which looks worse or the current behaviour of committing to a gesture in the first few mm of movement and then only allowing a change if the user lifts their fingers, which I find impractical.
@@Ryan-ct3rv This is about cancelled/altered action. Yes it would look less good than normal desktop behaviour, but the choice here is between responding to shaky input with matching shaky behaviour or not responding to it at all.
@@Ryan-ct3rv 1:1 gestures also look more jittery than a nice transition dictated by some curve, but they follow user input more closely so they're better.
If a user starts doing the wrong gesture they can just go back to the start of the gesture to cancel it, reposition their fingers if necessary and then go forward again with the correct gesture. Whats wrong with that? It works great on Gnome and macOS
Plasma docks are cool! I didn't realize that it was that hard to figure out but people should be able to find out on the Internet or just testing things out. I have my dock set to be a single row icons only and autohide at the top of screen. It reduces my cursor travel distance having it at the top.
I've asked about this before, but is it possible in Plasma 6 to change the gesture to 3 finger up or down to call the overview and still have 1:1 gestures? There's a ton of us with older machines from the ancient 2015 that don't support 4 fingers gestures on trackpads :/
Nicco do you think it would be possible for KDE to properly implement modifier only shortcuts for this release? It is very easy to break your application launcher and not have it work with the super key anymore. With the only solution being deleting kwinrc so that KDE regenerates it. It seems right now it all works around a hack in Qt
Hi! Good job! Thanks a lot for talk about GNU/Linux and Open Source, and shows news about this. The key, named "Meta", is the key that have inscription "Alt". The key with a draw of the penguin, or of the four little squares, is named "Super". Keep pushing!
interesting video. I came here from watching the video of louis rossmann yesterday. great to see how the KDE desktop is coming along. by the way, I subscribed yesterday. and today, I subscribed again. guess, this is the first time I experienced youtube unsubscribing me from a channel.
All I want is a basic desktop that supports Wayland fractional scaling well without weird bugs like transparent context menu items or screen blinking or session crashing that kills all user apps.
Appreciate what you're doing for KDE Plasma. I'm a Gnome junkie when I started messing with Linux years ago, but I found KDE Plasma to be more in line with what I want since I jumped ship from windows to Linux in April this year, and I must say it looks amazing over all, and now you're expanding on more options and features, which is really great to see. Thanks so much for what you guys are doing 🙌
10:43 I really like the layout/look, (of course I typed this just before it gets covered, thankfully I waited before posting) -however, for visibility, where's "windows can cover" and "windows go behind"?- -I needed to use "windows can cover" for a while, as "auto-hide" was playing up (working now) and I'm sure some prefer that way.-
I'm using Debian 12 KDE now with floating panel. Looking forward to Debian 13 with Plasma 6 that will have this and next iteration perks. My first KDE was 3.3, everything changed, but the spirit is there so I don't even feel any nostalgia for earlier versions.
As a Patreon I am very, very happy with what you’re doing. Not only as you developing free software, which I love, but you’re also addressing my biggest pain points. The only major pain point I have left which isn’t a technical bug or shortcoming with the display stack in Linux and KWIN is that I haven’t found a way to automatically have all desktops have the same panel and plasmoid layout automatically.
Can I just say, that I think you're doing great work on KDE. If someone's trying out linux for the first time, I've always recommended they go with KDE instead of Gnome personally. However I've not used KDE myself in over 15 years or so. Watching how KDE has come along, as well as how both yourself and the modern KDE team interact with everyone really makes me consider switching back after all this time. You're a great ambassidor for open source development.
Great work :) I am excited to see Plasma 6. Holding off for now to try it out with kdesrc-build as I would need another weekend to do so. But really looking forward for the end result of Plasma 6.
I had to reinstall Fedora Kionite after having a bug I couldn't resolve with leaking storage space somewhere in system files. Decided to try W11, cuz why not. I feel like Windows will never fill this huge gap in usability and customisation, heck, you can't now change panel placement even! 2 months and I already long for KDE workflow. And these changes make me want to switch even faster😍
So.. how realistic is it to have the option of the panel not maximizing when there are maximized windows? I would kinda love that. Also some native way of setting space between opened windows that aren't maximized would also be extremely welcome!
I like how Plasma devs are not scared to change big chunks of the code, pretty much making it a whole new DE with major releases, like the new Plasma 6.
Hard work indeed...as you are a developer and working on gestures...i have a request that you add a gesture for changing volume too...this is the only thing that's making me stay in windows...
I was really hoping for mouse gestures (not to be confused with touchpad gestures). I heard that the feature would be cut completely in Plasma 6, I use it _constantly_ and would hate to see it go.
While I don't think I will move away from my dynamic tiling WM, Plasma 6 is looking to be my go-to recommendation for newer users that want a functional & comfortable DE. Plus I always did like the customization that Plasma has had.
Nice, vibrant colors. They convey well your excitement and pride, which is great. I'm happy to hear about the panel, because it was the weakest point of Plasma, and now it seems finally to gets basic things in a well-designed way. And the intelligent hide is finally there! Yay! It's still no latte-dock, but a good start. ;) As to overview, it sounds OK when you talk about it, but I'm a bit confused about how it would work. I personally don't need all the elements, and overview is for me a big alternative for alt-tab. Basically, I use alt-tab to switch between recent windows back and forth, but for managing window (and I have a lot of windows opened), I use overview. To do that, I already assigned the shortcut meta+tab for overview and it works the best. The thing with circling between various effects makes me wonder - can I disable or skip some of the elements and keep just the one I use? In theory, when I switch to overview, I choose a window, which ends the overview effect, so the new elements shouldn't bother me, but there is a danger, that I hit my shortcut twice which, instead of ending the overview, enters the next element, which I have no use for. So again, will there be a way to personalize this overview workflow? Maybe I'm not understanding how it would work in practice? Time will tell. And what about settings for mouse gestures in Wayland?
Hi Nico! I'm wondering if you know when or if multi-monitor wallpaper spanning is planned for KDE? I'm aware it's not been implemented yet, but I truly haven't really heard many discussions about it either.
Looks great! I recently tried plasma again (latest 5.xx) but there are some showstoppers for me which are per monitor virtual desktops, configure panels/widgets to be "cloned" across all monitors, and an easy way to sync settings across devices (haven't looked into this one yet). I'll gladly test plasma 6 when it gets released :) Thanks for all of your hard work!
I hope they also add a new clock so, when you want to make the panel vertical, the clock can adjust itself to a vertical position. right now I am using a third party clock called "split digital clock". It's alright but, I wish it also included the date.
Hi. My dear, could you configure mouse's scroll to run on the virtual screen (overview) like Gnome do? I think that this is a little thing to you and I think that the choice the screen on overview will be amazing. Congratulations!!!
@@braelinmichelus I have the task switcher on the right and window title/menu on the left, I can't scroll on the empty space only when I'm hovering over the task switcher icons.
I think I'd rather have no floating panel and clean code than hacky code and floating panels. The dock-mode and dodge windows settings are probably the lion's share of the value in the end. New overview seems amazing. With my current machines, I probably need the Asahi team to catch up, though...
Ciao non sapevo a chi scrivere, ultimamente stavo pensando, sarebbe possibile implementare le gesture di back anche forward dei browser direttamente su KDE? Molto spesso mi ritrovo a farle nei settings, su dolphin e altri luoghi per poi ricordamri che funzionano sui browser
Looking forward to trying out Plasma 6 once it lands in Fedora Rawhide. I'm primarily a Gnome user, but I recently trudged through setting up Plasma on my system. To be honest, setting up Plasma is super discouraging because I run into so many bugs and weird design decision while doing so. But once set up, I actually enjoyed using it.
thank you and all contributors so much!

cool I don't need to use Latte Dock for a dock in KDE 6
Ciao non sapevo a chi scrivere, ultimamente stavo pensando, sarebbe possibile implementare le gesture di back anche forward dei browser direttamente su KDE?
Molto spesso mi ritrovo a farle nei settings, su dolphin e altri luoghi per poi ricordamri che funzionano sui browser
Great work! would we be able to have the same panel in all monitors?
Looking forward to trying out Plasma 6 once it lands in Fedora Rawhide. I'm primarily a Gnome user, but I recently trudged through setting up Plasma on my system. To be honest, setting up Plasma is super discouraging because I run into so many bugs and weird design decision while doing so. But once set up, I actually enjoyed using it.
I really wish the panel to be visible in overview mode.
Thanks.
