Is there some sort of overall vision doc for KDE 6? What are they building towards? I find 5 so good have a bit of trouble imagining where they’ll go to improve

afik they are rebasing on qt6, which fixes a lot of issues with Wayland due to Wayland not being thought of during the development of qt5.
Correct me if I’m wrong though
Plasma 6 is built using QT 6, currently plasma 5 is using QT5. This is a huge effort to move the code to the new version of QT but it brings many improvements behind the scenes. Once this is done a lot of the code is going to be cleaner and more maintainable, which should translate to a smoother user experience.

I like moving the actions to the header on the KCMs. That’s way better.

KDE is highly customizable and themeable. It looks a little bland by default, but you can change that. That said, I always feel like KDE feels a little inconstant. Font sizes, padding, and other flourishes always feel off. That is probably a result of it’s costumizability.

Yeah, I also like Gnome for it’s mobile look, Idk reminds me of Android 12 I just love it
Which looks very different if you choose any of the other themes. We have tons of choices, and each of us decides. Some may even want theirs to look like Windows.

This is super helpful, thanks!
