[KDE Plasma 5.27](https://news.itsfoss.com/kde-plasma-5-27-release/) 是一个值得关注的版本，它标志着 5.x 系列的终结。


我们非常期待 KDE Plasma 6，但是我们还没有关于它的确切信息。


现在有一些新的消息了。


在 **2023 年 Plasma Sprint 活动** 之后，KDE 的 *Nate Graham* 在他的博客上分享了 KDE Plasma 6 的一些重要亮点。


*Nate？* 英雄并非都穿着斗篷，对吧？??


那么，让我分享他博客中的重要内容。


### KDE Plasma 6: 改变默认设置的最佳时机 ⭐


在重要版本升级时，用户应该期望会有重大变化，从而改善开箱即用的用户体验。


而其中一个关键因素就是 **改变默认设置**。


你可以期待更改哪些设置呢？


#### 1、默认采用 Wayland


在 KDE Plasma 6 中，**Wayland 会成为默认首选项**。


X11 会话不会消失。因此，Linux 发行版仍然可以覆盖这个默认设置，将 X11 保留为默认设置。


开发人员正在 [解决](https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/2188?ref=news.itsfoss.com#note_676355) 某些问题以及几个和英伟达有关的问题。一旦这些问题解决，他们就可以按照他们的目标前进了。


#### 2、默认双击打开文件


为了改善从其他平台迁移过来的新用户的体验，双击打开文件/文件夹将成为新的默认设置。


#### 3、默认采用浮动面板


![KDE floating panel](/data/attachment/album/202305/17/154033p3n129t21fwwzct1.jpg)


尽管 Windows 11 最初从 KDE 复制了（或许是灵感来自于）浮动面板，但浮动面板在 KDE Plasma 中是可选的特性。


因此，为了给用户带来新的开箱即用的体验，浮动面板现在成为了 KDE Plasma 默认外观的一部分。


#### 4、使用强调色调节窗口标题栏区域以区分活动窗口


为了帮助你更好地区分和识别活动窗口，你将会发现工作窗口的标题栏区域使用你设置的强调色装饰。


![kde tinted accent colored header area](/data/attachment/album/202305/17/154033c3e1ejld3d4l224z.jpg)


这样，窗口就会有一些微妙的视觉差异，告诉你哪个窗口是活动窗口。


你可以在 Plasma 桌面的 [GitLab 页面](https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/issues/78?ref=news.itsfoss.com) 上探索其技术细节。


#### 5、新任务切换器


任务切换器极大影响了多任务用户的用户体验。在 KDE Plasma 6 中，他们决定使用“缩略图网格”任务切换器，其中包括图标和缩略图，为不同用户提供快速的视觉提示。


这是它的样子：


![kde plasma 6 task switcher with thumbnail and icons](/data/attachment/album/202305/17/154033ccyopm00hzys5ey5.jpg)


此外，[Nate 的博客文章](https://pointieststick.com/2023/05/11/plasma-6-better-defaults/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) 上列出了许多其他应该有助于增强 KDE Plasma 6 体验的内容，比如：


* 单击滚动条以跳跃导航
* 更慢一些的发布周期（可能是每年两次），以便于发行版提供更新的软件
* 系统设置中的壁纸页面


? 总的来说，这些计划看起来相当有前途。你觉得呢？

[KDE Plasma 5.27](https://news.itsfoss.com/kde-plasma-5-27-release/) was an interesting release, marking the end of the 5.x series.

However, we were eagerly awaiting the KDE Plasma 6 release, and didn't know what to expect a few months back.

But, that has now changed.

With the release of **KDE Plasma beta 1**, we now have a better look at this release than ever before, and guess what?, we also have a final release date; **KDE Plasma 6 will be released on February 28, 2024**.

A special shout out to *Nate Graham* from KDE, who has been sharing important highlights of the KDE Plasma 6 release on [his blog](https://pointieststick.com/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) as always!

So, allow me to share the important bits.

## KDE Plasma 6: The Best Time to Change Defaults ⭐

With a major version bump, users should expect **major changes that improve the out-of-the-box user experience**.

And one of the crucial things that will let them do that is **far more flexibility with the default settings**. Let's dive in and see what's in store.

### 1. Wayland by Default

![a screenshot of kde plasma 6 beta 1 about system info](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/12/KDE_Plasma_beta1_a.png)

With KDE Plasma 6, the **Wayland session will be the preferred default option**.

The **X11 session will not be going away**. So, you or the developers of distributions can still override the default and have X11 remain the default.

The developers have had to [iron out](https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/2188?ref=news.itsfoss.com#note_676355) certain issues and several NVIDIA-specific problems. But, those are now ready, you can expect a really neat Wayland experience when the final release comes out.

### 2. Improved Discover

![a screenshot of kde plasma 6 improved discover app](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/12/KDE_Plasma_beta1_b.png)

When Flatpak or Snap is set as the default app sourcing backend, Discover will now show a “** Newly Published & Recently Updated**” section on the homepage. According to Nate, this has been done in a bid to “make the Linux app ecosystem feel more alive”.

### 3. Floating Panel by Default

![a screenshot of kde plasma 6 floating panel](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/12/KDE_Plasma_beta1_c.png)

While Windows 11 originally copied (or maybe got inspired? 👀) the design from KDE for the floating panel, it was an optional feature with KDE Plasma.

So, to give users something new out-of-the-box, the **floating panel is now in the default look of KDE Plasma**. With what I saw during my usage, it feels and works pretty well.

### 4. Accent-color-tinted header area to distinguish active windows

![a screenshot of kde plasma 6 accent color tinted header area settings](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/12/KDE_Plasma_beta1_d.png)

To help you **better differentiate and identify an active window**, you will find the header area of the working window tinted with your accent color set.

This way, the open windows get a subtle visual difference, telling you which one's the active one. You can explore the technical details of this implementation on the Plasma Desktop [GitLab page](https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/issues/78?ref=news.itsfoss.com).

### 5. New Task Switcher

![a screenshot of kde plasma 6 updated task switcher](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/12/KDE_Plasma_beta1_e.png)

A Task switcher greatly influences the user experience for multitaskers. With KDE Plasma 6, **they decided to use a “Thumbnail Grid” task switcher**, which includes the icon, and a thumbnail, giving quick visual cues for different users.

### 6. Wallpaper Menu in Settings

![a screenshot of kde plasma 6 wallpaper menu in the settings](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/12/KDE_Plasma_beta1_f.png)

This is something that many desktop environments out there feature,** it was weird to see Plasma not having a dedicated Wallpaper page in the Settings menu** for changing the wallpaper and related settings. But finally, it is here.

### 6. Better Night Light

![a screenshot of kde plasma 6 night light settings menu](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/12/KDE_Plasma_beta1_g.png)

The Night Light page has also been improved, it now **shows a very handy graphical representation** of the active/inactive periods, alongside the transitions times.

### 🛠️ Other Changes and Improvements

There are plenty of miscellaneous changes too, here are some highlights:

- Support for
**hardware cursors on NVIDIA GPUs**. - Double-Clicking to open files/folders is the
**new default behavior**. - Ark, the file archiver now has a new “
**Extract here and delete archive**” option. - Auto-Hide panels now
**follows the user-set delay setting**that is used for other screen edge effects. - KRunner and other searches based on it
**now feature proper visual click feedback**when clicking on a search result. - A bug fix for Dolphin that
**fixes a common crash**that could happen during large file transfers to other locations.

You can go through the other changes listed on [Nate's blog post](https://pointieststick.com/2023/12/01/this-week-in-kde-changing-the-wallpaper-from-within-system-settings/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) to explore technical details about the KDE Plasma 6 release.

## How to Get KDE Plasma 6?

You can expect KDE Plasma 6 with future Fedora 40 spin (Kinoite variant) release.

Other than that, there are no other confirmed distributions to feature KDE Plasma 6 after its release.

If you are willing to experiment, and aren't concerned about stability, you can try [KDE Neon](https://neon.kde.org/?ref=news.itsfoss.com)'s Unstable edition to get your hands on KDE Plasma 6.

*💬* *I can't wait to get my hands on the KDE Plasma 6 release. The overall progress looks quite promising to me. What do you think?*
