GNOME 46 contains many small improvements and polish changes to the core GNOME experience. Many of GNOME’s core apps have also been upgraded. The improvements in GNOME 46 are not just skin deep, and the new version comes with deep technical enhancements which result in a more performant and refined experience.

The <big>Plasma edition</big> comes with the latest <a href="https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/6/6.0.5/">Plasma 6.1 series</a> and <a href="https://kde.org/announcements/gear/24.08.1/">KDE Gear 24.08</a>. It brings exciting new improvements to your desktop.
|
||||
|
||||
With Plasma 6, KDE's technology stack has undergone major upgrades: a transition to the latest version of application framework, Qt, and an improved graphics platform when Wayland is used. These changes are as smooth and unnoticeable to the users as possible. You will see the same familiar desktop environment that you know and love. But these under-the-hood upgrades benefit Plasma's security, efficiency, and performance, and improve support for modern hardware. Thus Plasma delivers an overall more reliable user experience, while paving the way for many more improvements in the future.
|
||||
Plasma 6 hits its stride with version 6.1. While Plasma 6.0 was all about getting the migration to the underlying Qt 6 frameworks correct (and what a massive job that was), 6.1 is where developers start implementing the features that will take your desktop to a new level.
|
||||
|
||||
Plasma on Wayland now has partial support for High Dynamic Range (HDR). On supported monitors and software, this will provide you with richer and deeper colors for your games, videos, and visual creations. Don't like floating panels? No worries. The redesigned panel settings make it easier to configure everything to your liking. Panels can now be configured with a new an intelligent auto-hide mode ("Dodge Windows") that makes them hide when windows touch them. Changes to a few default settings will make Plasma easier to use. Plasma is still as configurable as ever, and you can change these settings back to how they were in Plasma 5 if you preferred them that way.
|
||||
One of the more spectacular (and useful) features added in Plasma 6.1 is that you can now start up a remote desktop directly from the System Settings app. This means that if you are sysadmin who needs to troubleshoot users' machines, or simply need to work on a Plasma-enabled computer that is out of reach, setting up a connection is just a few clicks away.
|
||||
|
||||
The improved Settings app, makes it more user-friendly and reduces the number of nested pages. On many settings pages, buttons have been relocated to the toolbar, enhancing consistency with our other applications and creating additional space for the actual content. You now have the option to customize your sound theme, and a new default sound theme named "Ocean" has been introduced to replace the "Oxygen" sound theme. Another addition is that you can now easily configure preferred applications for broad file types, such as all kinds of music and video files.
|
||||
We all love customizing our Plasma desktops, don't we? One of the quickest ways to do this is by entering Plasma's Edit Mode (right-click anywhere on the desktop background and select Enter Edit Mode from the menu). In version 6.1, the visual aspect of Edit Mode has been overhauled and you will now see a slick animation when you activate it. The entire desktop zooms out smoothly, giving you a better overview of what is going on and allowing you to make your changes with ease.
|
||||
|
||||
Two years ago, some major architectural improvements in KWin had forced KDE to temporarily remove the famous cube effect — but now it's finally back! This effect is perfect to get a clear visualisation of the concept of what multiple desktops are all about... And also to show off to your friends and family how cool Plasma is.
|
||||
|
||||
Plasma Search lets you now convert between timezones. This is handy if you travel frequently or need to keep in touch with colleagues, friends, and family in other parts of the world. Check out more ways how KDE can help you during your travels. Due to some refactoring and profiling, Plasma Search is generally faster, and in particular searching for applications and settings pages is a lot faster while also using fewer CPU resources.
|
||||
Plasma 6.1 on Wayland now has a feature that "remembers" what you were doing in your last session like it did under X11. Although this is still work in progress, If you log off and shut down your computer with a dozen open windows, Plasma will now open them for you the next time you power up your desktop, making it faster and easier to get back to what you were doing. At Manjaro we are still defaulting to X11, however switching to Wayland can be done easily by selecting the wanted session in your display manager.
|
||||
|
||||
With our <big>XFCE edition</big>, we have now Xfce 4.18. Here some highlights: A new file highlighting feature (accessed from the file properties dialog) in Thunar file manager lets you set a custom colour background and a custom foreground text colour – an effective way to call attention to specific file(s) in a directory laden with similar-looking mime types. On the subject of finding files, Thunar includes recursive search.

Control Centre groups all of the desktop’s various modules for managing the system into one easy-to-use window. New options are present in many of these. For example you can disable header bars in dialogs from the Appearance module; show or hide a ‘delete’ option in file context menus from Desktop; and pick a default multi-monitor behaviour before you attach an additional screen – dead handy, that.

These changes are as smooth and unnoticeable to the users as possible. You will see the same familiar desktop environment that you know and love. But these under-the-hood upgrades benefit Plasma's security, efficiency, and performance, and improve support for modern hardware. Thus Plasma delivers an overall more reliable user experience, while paving the way for many more improvements in the future.
|
||||
Plasma 6 hits its stride with version 6.1. While Plasma 6.0 was all about getting the migration to the underlying Qt 6 frameworks correct (and what a massive job that was), 6.1 is where developers start implementing the features that will take your desktop to a new level.
|
||||
|
||||
Plasma on Wayland now has partial support for High Dynamic Range (HDR). On supported monitors and software, this will provide you with richer and deeper colors for your games, videos, and visual creations. Don't like floating panels? No worries. The redesigned panel settings make it easier to configure everything to your liking. Panels can now be configured with a new an intelligent auto-hide mode ("Dodge Windows") that makes them hide when windows touch them. Changes to a few default settings will make Plasma easier to use. Plasma is still as configurable as ever, and you can change these settings back to how they were in Plasma 5 if you preferred them that way.
|
||||
One of the more spectacular (and useful) features added in Plasma 6.1 is that you can now start up a remote desktop directly from the System Settings app. This means that if you are sysadmin who needs to troubleshoot users' machines, or simply need to work on a Plasma-enabled computer that is out of reach, setting up a connection is just a few clicks away.
|
||||
|
||||
The improved Settings app, makes it more user-friendly and reduces the number of nested pages. On many settings pages, buttons have been relocated to the toolbar, enhancing consistency with our other applications and creating additional space for the actual content. You now have the option to customize your sound theme, and a new default sound theme named "Ocean" has been introduced to replace the "Oxygen" sound theme. Another addition is that you can now easily configure preferred applications for broad file types, such as all kinds of music and video files.
|
||||
We all love customizing our Plasma desktops, don't we? One of the quickest ways to do this is by entering Plasma's Edit Mode (right-click anywhere on the desktop background and select Enter Edit Mode from the menu). In version 6.1, the visual aspect of Edit Mode has been overhauled and you will now see a slick animation when you activate it. The entire desktop zooms out smoothly, giving you a better overview of what is going on and allowing you to make your changes with ease.
|
||||
|
||||
Two years ago, some major architectural improvements in KWin had forced KDE to temporarily remove the famous cube effect — but now it's finally back! This effect is perfect to get a clear visualisation of the concept of what multiple desktops are all about... And also to show off to your friends and family how cool Plasma is.
|
||||
|
||||
Plasma Search lets you now convert between timezones. This is handy if you travel frequently or need to keep in touch with colleagues, friends, and family in other parts of the world. Check out more ways how KDE can help you during your travels. Due to some refactoring and profiling, Plasma Search is generally faster, and in particular searching for applications and settings pages is a lot faster while also using fewer CPU resources.
|
||||
Plasma 6.1 on Wayland now has a feature that "remembers" what you were doing in your last session like it did under X11. Although this is still work in progress, If you log off and shut down your computer with a dozen open windows, Plasma will now open them for you the next time you power up your desktop, making it faster and easier to get back to what you were doing. At Manjaro we are still defaulting to X11, however switching to Wayland can be done easily by selecting the wanted session in your display manager.
|
||||
|
||||
With our <big>XFCE edition</big>, we have now Xfce 4.18. Here some highlights: A new file highlighting feature (accessed from the file properties dialog) in Thunar file manager lets you set a custom colour background and a custom foreground text colour – an effective way to call attention to specific file(s) in a directory laden with similar-looking mime types. On the subject of finding files, Thunar includes recursive search.

At Manjaro we are still defaulting to X11, however switching to Wayland can be done easily by selecting the wanted session in your display manager.

On the subject of finding files, Thunar includes recursive search.

GNOME 46 contains many small improvements and polish changes to the core GNOME experience. Many of GNOME’s core apps have also been upgraded.

|
||||
|
||||
With Plasma 6, KDE's technology stack has undergone major upgrades: a transition to the latest version of application framework, Qt, and an improved graphics platform when Wayland is used. These changes are as smooth and unnoticeable to the users as possible. You will see the same familiar desktop environment that you know and love. But these under-the-hood upgrades benefit Plasma's security, efficiency, and performance, and improve support for modern hardware. Thus Plasma delivers an overall more reliable user experience, while paving the way for many more improvements in the future.
|
||||
Plasma 6 hits its stride with version 6.1. While Plasma 6.0 was all about getting the migration to the underlying Qt 6 frameworks correct (and what a massive job that was), 6.1 is where developers start implementing the features that will take your desktop to a new level.
|
||||
|
||||
Plasma on Wayland now has partial support for High Dynamic Range (HDR). On supported monitors and software, this will provide you with richer and deeper colors for your games, videos, and visual creations. Don't like floating panels? No worries. The redesigned panel settings make it easier to configure everything to your liking. Panels can now be configured with a new an intelligent auto-hide mode ("Dodge Windows") that makes them hide when windows touch them. Changes to a few default settings will make Plasma easier to use. Plasma is still as configurable as ever, and you can change these settings back to how they were in Plasma 5 if you preferred them that way.
|
||||
One of the more spectacular (and useful) features added in Plasma 6.1 is that you can now start up a remote desktop directly from the System Settings app. This means that if you are sysadmin who needs to troubleshoot users' machines, or simply need to work on a Plasma-enabled computer that is out of reach, setting up a connection is just a few clicks away.
|
||||
|
||||
The improved Settings app, makes it more user-friendly and reduces the number of nested pages. On many settings pages, buttons have been relocated to the toolbar, enhancing consistency with our other applications and creating additional space for the actual content. You now have the option to customize your sound theme, and a new default sound theme named "Ocean" has been introduced to replace the "Oxygen" sound theme. Another addition is that you can now easily configure preferred applications for broad file types, such as all kinds of music and video files.
|
||||
We all love customizing our Plasma desktops, don't we? One of the quickest ways to do this is by entering Plasma's Edit Mode (right-click anywhere on the desktop background and select Enter Edit Mode from the menu). In version 6.1, the visual aspect of Edit Mode has been overhauled and you will now see a slick animation when you activate it. The entire desktop zooms out smoothly, giving you a better overview of what is going on and allowing you to make your changes with ease.
|
||||
|
||||
Two years ago, some major architectural improvements in KWin had forced KDE to temporarily remove the famous cube effect — but now it's finally back! This effect is perfect to get a clear visualisation of the concept of what multiple desktops are all about... And also to show off to your friends and family how cool Plasma is.
|
||||
|
||||
Plasma Search lets you now convert between timezones. This is handy if you travel frequently or need to keep in touch with colleagues, friends, and family in other parts of the world. Check out more ways how KDE can help you during your travels. Due to some refactoring and profiling, Plasma Search is generally faster, and in particular searching for applications and settings pages is a lot faster while also using fewer CPU resources.

GNOME 46 contains many small improvements and polish changes to the core GNOME experience. Many of GNOME’s core apps have also been upgraded. The improvements in GNOME 46 are not just skin deep, and the new version comes with deep technical enhancements which result in a more performant and refined experience.

|
||||
With Plasma 6, KDE's technology stack has undergone major upgrades: a transition to the latest version of application framework, Qt, and an improved graphics platform when Wayland is used. These changes are as smooth and unnoticeable to the users as possible. You will see the same familiar desktop environment that you know and love. But these under-the-hood upgrades benefit Plasma's security, efficiency, and performance, and improve support for modern hardware. Thus Plasma delivers an overall more reliable user experience, while paving the way for many more improvements in the future.
|
||||
Plasma 6 hits its stride with version 6.1. While Plasma 6.0 was all about getting the migration to the underlying Qt 6 frameworks correct (and what a massive job that was), 6.1 is where developers start implementing the features that will take your desktop to a new level.
|
||||
|
||||
Plasma on Wayland now has partial support for High Dynamic Range (HDR). On supported monitors and software, this will provide you with richer and deeper colors for your games, videos, and visual creations. Don't like floating panels? No worries. The redesigned panel settings make it easier to configure everything to your liking. Panels can now be configured with a new an intelligent auto-hide mode ("Dodge Windows") that makes them hide when windows touch them. Changes to a few default settings will make Plasma easier to use. Plasma is still as configurable as ever, and you can change these settings back to how they were in Plasma 5 if you preferred them that way.
|
||||
One of the more spectacular (and useful) features added in Plasma 6.1 is that you can now start up a remote desktop directly from the System Settings app. This means that if you are sysadmin who needs to troubleshoot users' machines, or simply need to work on a Plasma-enabled computer that is out of reach, setting up a connection is just a few clicks away.
|
||||
|
||||
The improved Settings app, makes it more user-friendly and reduces the number of nested pages. On many settings pages, buttons have been relocated to the toolbar, enhancing consistency with our other applications and creating additional space for the actual content. You now have the option to customize your sound theme, and a new default sound theme named "Ocean" has been introduced to replace the "Oxygen" sound theme. Another addition is that you can now easily configure preferred applications for broad file types, such as all kinds of music and video files.
|
||||
We all love customizing our Plasma desktops, don't we? One of the quickest ways to do this is by entering Plasma's Edit Mode (right-click anywhere on the desktop background and select Enter Edit Mode from the menu). In version 6.1, the visual aspect of Edit Mode has been overhauled and you will now see a slick animation when you activate it. The entire desktop zooms out smoothly, giving you a better overview of what is going on and allowing you to make your changes with ease.
|
||||
|
||||
Two years ago, some major architectural improvements in KWin had forced KDE to temporarily remove the famous cube effect — but now it's finally back! This effect is perfect to get a clear visualisation of the concept of what multiple desktops are all about... And also to show off to your friends and family how cool Plasma is.
|
||||
|
||||
Plasma Search lets you now convert between timezones. This is handy if you travel frequently or need to keep in touch with colleagues, friends, and family in other parts of the world. Check out more ways how KDE can help you during your travels. Due to some refactoring and profiling, Plasma Search is generally faster, and in particular searching for applications and settings pages is a lot faster while also using fewer CPU resources.
|
||||
Plasma 6.1 on Wayland now has a feature that "remembers" what you were doing in your last session like it did under X11. Although this is still work in progress, If you log off and shut down your computer with a dozen open windows, Plasma will now open them for you the next time you power up your desktop, making it faster and easier to get back to what you were doing. At Manjaro we are still defaulting to X11, however switching to Wayland can be done easily by selecting the wanted session in your display manager.
|
||||
|
||||
With our <big>XFCE edition</big>, we have now Xfce 4.18. Here some highlights: A new file highlighting feature (accessed from the file properties dialog) in Thunar file manager lets you set a custom colour background and a custom foreground text colour – an effective way to call attention to specific file(s) in a directory laden with similar-looking mime types. On the subject of finding files, Thunar includes recursive search.

Control Centre groups all of the desktop’s various modules for managing the system into one easy-to-use window. New options are present in many of these. For example you can disable header bars in dialogs from the Appearance module; show or hide a ‘delete’ option in file context menus from Desktop; and pick a default multi-monitor behaviour before you attach an additional screen – dead handy, that.

One of the more spectacular (and useful) features added in Plasma 6.1 is that you can now start up a remote desktop directly from the System Settings app. This means that if you are sysadmin who needs to troubleshoot users' machines, or simply need to work on a Plasma-enabled computer that is out of reach, setting up a connection is just a few clicks away.
|
||||
|
||||
The improved Settings app, makes it more user-friendly and reduces the number of nested pages. On many settings pages, buttons have been relocated to the toolbar, enhancing consistency with our other applications and creating additional space for the actual content. You now have the option to customize your sound theme, and a new default sound theme named "Ocean" has been introduced to replace the "Oxygen" sound theme. Another addition is that you can now easily configure preferred applications for broad file types, such as all kinds of music and video files.
|
||||
We all love customizing our Plasma desktops, don't we? One of the quickest ways to do this is by entering Plasma's Edit Mode (right-click anywhere on the desktop background and select Enter Edit Mode from the menu). In version 6.1, the visual aspect of Edit Mode has been overhauled and you will now see a slick animation when you activate it. The entire desktop zooms out smoothly, giving you a better overview of what is going on and allowing you to make your changes with ease.

Two years ago, some major architectural improvements in KWin had forced KDE to temporarily remove the famous cube effect — but now it's finally back! This effect is perfect to get a clear visualisation of the concept of what multiple desktops are all about... And also to show off to your friends and family how cool Plasma is.

Plasma Search lets you now convert between timezones. This is handy if you travel frequently or need to keep in touch with colleagues, friends, and family in other parts of the world. Check out more ways how KDE can help you during your travels. Due to some refactoring and profiling, Plasma Search is generally faster, and in particular searching for applications and settings pages is a lot faster while also using fewer CPU resources.

Plasma 6.1 on Wayland now has a feature that "remembers" what you were doing in your last session like it did under X11. Although this is still work in progress, If you log off and shut down your computer with a dozen open windows, Plasma will now open them for you the next time you power up your desktop, making it faster and easier to get back to what you were doing. At Manjaro we are still defaulting to X11, however switching to Wayland can be done easily by selecting the wanted session in your display manager.

With our <big>XFCE edition</big>, we have now Xfce 4.18.

On the subject of finding files, Thunar includes recursive search.

With Plasma 6, KDE's technology stack has undergone major upgrades: a transition to the latest version of application framework, Qt, and an improved graphics platform when Wayland is used. These changes are as smooth and unnoticeable to the users as possible. You will see the same familiar desktop environment that you know and love. But these under-the-hood upgrades benefit Plasma's security, efficiency, and performance, and improve support for modern hardware. Thus Plasma delivers an overall more reliable user experience, while paving the way for many more improvements in the future.
|
||||
Plasma 6 hits its stride with version 6.1. While Plasma 6.0 was all about getting the migration to the underlying Qt 6 frameworks correct (and what a massive job that was), 6.1 is where developers start implementing the features that will take your desktop to a new level.
|
||||
|
||||
Plasma on Wayland now has partial support for High Dynamic Range (HDR). On supported monitors and software, this will provide you with richer and deeper colors for your games, videos, and visual creations. Don't like floating panels? No worries. The redesigned panel settings make it easier to configure everything to your liking. Panels can now be configured with a new an intelligent auto-hide mode ("Dodge Windows") that makes them hide when windows touch them. Changes to a few default settings will make Plasma easier to use. Plasma is still as configurable as ever, and you can change these settings back to how they were in Plasma 5 if you preferred them that way.

One of the more spectacular (and useful) features added in Plasma 6.1 is that you can now start up a remote desktop directly from the System Settings app. This means that if you are sysadmin who needs to troubleshoot users' machines, or simply need to work on a Plasma-enabled computer that is out of reach, setting up a connection is just a few clicks away.
