Tbh, I'm still super impressed with smoothness of :kdenew: KDE Plasma5 on :postmarketos: PostMarketOS on such an old phone (Samsung Galaxy A300FU). Truly an achievement. Of course it is far from optimal (e.g notifications can clutter the screen and their close button are out of bound of the display).

Well done @kde , @kde and @postmarketOS 👏🏼

@Mehrad @kde @kde @postmarketOS postmarketOS stable I assume? Just wait till you get (either in next stable or current edge)

KDE releases today Plasma Mobile 6. Check out its renewed base system and apps.

This version comes with a new and improved shell, a new home screen with heaps of new features, enhancements of the base system, improvements in apps like Clock, Kasts and Photos, and much more.

@be @kde @kde @postmarketOS When I've finished the PR upgrading it all. Currently I'm building everything locally and if that's done I'll push it to Alpine. Hopefully end of weekend update will be available

@Shatur @owen
> Ubuntu Touch

They don't ship Plasma Mobile, or any other mobile UI that is not Lomiri for that matter.

Plasma and apps for mobile also getting overhauled for 6.

It's not only Plasma on the desktop that is getting a new version, as Devin Lin explains in his blog post,

https://espi.dev/posts/2023/12/plasma-mobile-towards-6/

developers are working hard on getting 6 ready for the scheduled for February.

@mlekar @kde @kde No, Ubuntu Touch isn't a classic Linux desktop. Check https://plasma-mobile.org/get/

@itsoulos @kde @kde It works of course, but it's interface isn't mobile friendly at all. Merkuro will be a better fit, it uses the same backend as KMail (Akonadi) anyway.

Cool KDE Plasma trick: [Meta] + [v]

You know how you can use [Ctrl] + [v] to paste in place the last thing you copied to the clipboard, right?

A cool and productive-enhancing variant of that available in 's desktop is that, when copying and pasting a lot of different things, you can hold down the [Meta] ("Windows") key and hit [v], and a list of all the elements available on the clipboard will pop up so you can choose what to paste next.

@Bro666 @kde Eh, that shortcut does nothing for me and I don't see any relevant (unassigned) shortcut in system settings. With Plasma 5.27.8, what am I missing?

bart ,
@bart@mastodon.fam-ribbers.com avatar

@Bro666 @kde Ah there you go, it was unassigned. I've set it to the default now and it works great, that makes the clipboard so much more useful! Previously I was manually moving my mouse to click on the tray icon, it was quite inefficient.

Thanks!

@Bro666 @kde Definitely. In this case I expected it in the shortcuts KCM in system settings but it's just not there. It probably should be though.
