I don’t feel the change as strongly as you do, but I agree and I’m also on KDE for the customizability and plethora of features after leaving gnome during the early days of Gnome 3. That and the traditional non-touch desktop experience. It’s shame to see stuff go, but I’m happy the kept activities and brought back the cube. If I wanted a simple environment with minimal customizability I’d reinstall Budgie. I hope KDE stays true to itself and keeps being awesome. I’m rooting for them even in times of skepticism.

Plucker was/is a format that was used to save copies of a web page for offline reading in the pre-smartphone days when people were still using palm PDAs. It’s been a few decades so my recollection is a bit fuzzy.

This would look good with the purple theme from that theme roundup that was posted somewhat recently. I’m still rocking it too and I’m normally an alpha black kind of user.

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.

Same here. I prefer to do 9/10 tasks on a desktop vs a phone, but sometimes I leave the house to go places. I would love to be able to dock my phone and carry a folding mouse rather than having to manage syncing a device for each stage of portability.

Pay your own tribute to a desktop that once ruled the 90s Unix world with Commonality, the fourth and final (for now) entry in Off-Theme:

I’m cool with you stopping for now because I’m still vibing with this all-purple drip from last time, but I’ll be genuinely sad if we don’t get another one of these quality theme showcases in the future!

Give your desktop a strikingly lustrous look with Shades of Purple, the third theme in the Off-Theme series.

Thank you for sharing these articles. Seeing how some of these themes look when configured “properly”, vs how they look when I cobble them together with icons, plasma, cursers, wallpapers, etc. of my choosing is really interesting. KDE Plasma is looking beautiful!

    I fled my beloved Gnome for KDE when all the padding and giant buttons showed up and all the configurability disappeared from view (yes I know about gnome-tweaks). If I have to go to xfce to retain a desktop experience someday, I’ll do it. Having said that, I REALLY like KDE, so I hope it doesn’t come to that.

    I did not buy a 4k monitor so designers could add padding and an unreasonable amount of white space between everything or try to make my triple monitor desktop setup a “phone”.

    You are a bringer of good news!
