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.

One of these 6 beauties will become the wallpaper for Plasma 6. Which one do you prefer?

  1. Middle right & Bottom Right --> love these
  2. Top row & Bottom left --> these are nice too, just a little generic
  3. Middle Left --> it’s too bright and all the little details will make the icons hard to see

This looks cool!

lets you update whenever you want (e.g. not before a big deadline)

This is such a big plus, I was extra cautious that an update would break something right before finals

Any resources on dual booting? I didn’t have a great experience with it and I feel like students may prefer that for the programs that only offer windows / macos support.

University courses are usually “we only offer support for Windows & MacOS”, so a lot of students may give up on Linux unless they have the backup.
