I hope Bruce Byfield will write something. He obviously likes KDE, but also criticizes where appropriate, and he just writes really good, well researched articles.
Can you assign virtual desktops to different screens?
Not yet. Even if we don't have a defined timetable yet for this feature, is something we are planning to implement
From your answer, I assume you're a KDE contributor. Thank you for your contributions (regardless of what kind). Plasma really made me feel like the desktop is trying to accommodate me, the user, instead of the other way around.
I have a large collection of images saved in my computer, which I often send to other people through chat programs. The file picker with thumbnails is a godsend.
Nice work!

thanks :)
I don't know. I have never used the virtual desktop feature. Is there any way I could test that for you?
And _some_ HDR support as well!

I like KDE on technical level, but I can never fully reproduce the Gnome's "Meta key/hot right upper corner expose" flow, which really grew onto me over the years. Also, last time I tried (a year ago) it was simply crashing around once a day which was a deal breaker.
How does that flow go?
Did they streamline the konsole context menu yet? Last I looked at my laptop with kde it had like 900 options when I commonly use 3 and due to that are buried. That's my only big complaint with the system, its pretty damn good otherwise.
Only 11 options on the first level now. So yeah huge improvement over 900 before :P
~900 total is what I meant, unfortunately.
This article is an awful lot of words for not much being said. I’m glad they like the improvements (I certainly do) but you’ll be hard pressed to extract what those actually are. This is kinda understandable, as plasma 6 is good because it’s a massive accumulation of lots of little fixes where usability was examined and adjusted rather than “major feature x and y”. But I don’t think most of us are here for feel good fluff for clicks.
I instead recommend looking at this developer’s personal blog if you want to read something substantial: https://pointieststick.com/category/this-week-in-kde/
The official blog is a decent general overview of the status of releases. FYI they are currently cleaning up some issues from the recent user facing release that weren’t in unstable/testing: https://blog.neon.kde.org/

Good thing I came here before giving them traffic. Clickbait headlines are almost always a red flag.
I hope they keep doubling down on bug fixing and being functional for end users.
