I understand and its also the reason i now run Debian. I want stable, but to me, stable does not mean old. New can be more stable and also be better in many ways and kde seems to do a fantastic job. To me stable should mean the newest we got that is running without issues for everyone. So if new does not have any issues for anyone and runs smoothly it should get adopted asap so everyone can enjoy it and it becoms the new stable.
Its stable in the sense that it is unchanging and reliable. That means by the time it ships there shouldn’t really be much in the way of bugs left. I personally can not stand bugs that’s why I usually avoid KDE in favor of Gnome. Debian has been the only distro as of yet to be free of bugs from my perspective.
Debian ships the latest thing that’s available at the time of tagging, and that is not bug free in any way or form. In the case of Debian 12 that’s Plasma 5.27.5… There were 5 bugfix versions after that. People are experiencing known bugs on Debian stable, not no bugs.
@mmababes@kde When I was selecting my DE, I immediately discarded anything taskbar-based. It was shocking how little was left, it's pretty much #gnome or a tiling window manager like #sway or #hyprland.
Why? Taskbars" (really “panels” - “taskbars” are something else) in Plasma can be moved, removed, doubled up, made longer, shorter, wider, thinner… You can configure them any which way you want, or not at all and do away with them altogether.
