AUA: We are the Plasma dev team. Ask Us Anything about Plasma 6, gear 24.02, Frameworks 6 and everything else in the upcoming Megarelease. - eviltoast

David, Nate, Josh, Marco, Carl, and Niccolò are here ready to answer all your questions on Plasma (all versions), Gear, Frameworks, Wayland (and how it affects KDE’s software), and everything in between.

Fire away, Lemmy!

We were expecting to be done in an hour and we have past the 2-hour mark already! Time flies when you are having fun.

Thank you for all the questions and the welcoming and friendly atmosphere, but the devs must get back to making Plasma 6 great.

Please keep the conversation going and KDE contributors will continue to answer over the next days as time permits.

Thank you all!!

    from what I understand, you can only have them both installed (or none), not one or the other

    You can have only one installed, and Fedora KDE ships this way. If your distro doesn’t offer that, it seems like a distro packaging issue.

    make it easier to change file associations for common file types

    That’s in Plasma 6. :)

      Thanks for the info; it does look like that’s how my distro packages it.

      That’s awesome to hear! It’s a problem I’ve had for a while, so I’m glad it’s being worked on.

      Anyway, I just want to say I really appreciate all the work y’all have done over the years; I’ve been using plasma for the past 6-7 years, and it’s a desktop environment like no other.
