KDE verabschiedet sich von Plasma-LTS – So geht es weiter - fosstopia

@itsfoss This is a (very) GOOD news, IMHO, not a bad news

#KDE 💓 #KDEPlasma 💘

#kdeplasma :addio alla versione LTS,più supporto per tutte le versioni e nuova telemetria trasparente.Il progetto KDE Plasma,uno degli ambienti desktop più apprezzati e utilizzati nel mondo delle distribuzioni GNU #linux ha annunciato un importante cambiamento nella gestione del supporto e dell’evoluzione del proprio desktop.Dopo un intenso Plasma Sprint di sviluppo a Graz, in Austria,il team KDE ha deciso di abbandonare la distinzione tra versioni LTS continua a leggere. https://www.laseroffice.it/blog/2025/05/03/kde-plasma-addio-alla-versione-lts-piu-supporto-per-tutte-le-versioni-e-nuova-telemetria-trasparente/

Well, I am clueless. Because this should have worked:

# Load Bluetooth-related kernel modules at boot
  boot.kernelModules = [ "usb" "xhci_hcd" "btusb" "bluetooth" ];
``` 

Followed by

# 📶 Bluetooth Configuration

# Enable Bluetooth support
hardware.bluetooth.enable = true;

# Ensure Bluetooth is powered on when the system starts
hardware.bluetooth.powerOnBoot = true;

# Enable the Bluetooth service (systemd bluetooth service)
systemd.services.bluetooth = {
enable = true;
description = "Bluetooth service";
wantedBy = [ "basic.target" ]; # Start Bluetooth very early in the boot process
after = [ "sysinit.target" ]; # Bluetooth should be started after the system initialization
before = [ "network.target" "multi-user.target" "graphical.target" ]; # Start Bluetooth before networking, multi-user, and graphical services
};
```

My computer is an old Dell Precision T3610 and in the front of that case, I have a USB Bluetooth Adaptor. I believe the USB Bluetooth adaptor uses Realtek chipset. The actual keyboard is an Apple Bluetooth keyboard. It is model A1843 is that makes a difference.

I have no problem using my keyboard once logged in. The issue is logging in after a reboot (when greeted with SDDM). To login, I just connect a wire, but I would like to be wireless the whole time if possible.

@hisold Absolutely agree with you. I still can't find what i want, when i want, like i could [eventually] in P5.

However, coz ofc everyone's own preferences re layout will differ, i would love them to redesign it so that users can "build their own" by hiding unneeded sections, & rearranging by d&d their important ones to the top.

I use keyboard shortcuts all the time, for everything I can. You only have to memorise them once, and then they save you time every time you use them.

I learn them incrementally, as I need them, rather than trying to memorise whole pages of weird keychords.

One of the reasons I prefer #KdePlasma is that it's so #keyboard-friendly.

@kev @frameworkcomputer

En un contexto de escritorio, el #BleedingEdge ha evolucionado hasta el extremo de ofrecer unos niveles de estabilidad que poco tienen que envidiar a un sistema estanco y además da la ventaja de tener un soporte de hardware actualizado.

La #inmutabilidad puede terminar dando incluso más fuerza al bleeding edge frente a los sistemas #Linux con software estanco, más viendo que #Silverblue me resulta bastante más estable que #Fedora Workstation. https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/05/kde-plasma-drops-lts-releases-but-will-do-extra-bug-fix-releases-along-with-a-new-steam-like-hardware-survey/

@eliasp

I sometimes find that, if I log out and immediately log back in, it takes a weirdly long time for #KDEPlasma to start up. Is it because part of Plasma is running as a #systemd service and a new session can't start until the old one has completely terminated? Seems like a bad idea…

Another banger series of updates by #KDE - especially stoked by the new Animations (config) section, that alone is a huge boost to usability/intuitiveness of #KDEPlasma.

Heck, even some of the other updates are positive (and necessary) UI/UX improvements like highlighting newly installed apps in the app launcher, triggering DND when an app is in fullscreen mode (and focused), informing the user if the mic is muted when an application is trying to use it, and even adding a warning/disclaimer when a user tries to, 'presumably' configure the clipboard system tray icon alone without knowing that under the hood, it's actually affecting the service and why they might not want to do what they're doing (they have to fix this tho long term).

All in all, it's always a good time when Nate Graham is summarising these positive changes up :) NOW I look forward to the day when we'd have a dedicated settings page purely for configuring ALL touchpad gestures.. PLEASE. I'm happy all the drawing tablet folks are getting the love from KDE on #Wayland, but it'd be so nice to have this for the touchpad too considering how many people use these on laptops or even PCs with touchpad i.e. #Apple's Magic Trackpad. For now, these people need to rely on hacky workarounds like using #Touche/#Touchegg, which isn't even meant to work on Wayland (but somehow it does, without none of that one-to-one gesture goodness tho unfortunately).

Hello #FOSS folks. How do you use three keyboard layouts under #KDE #Plasma? The traditional way of Alt+Shift to switch to the next layout is annoying.

Reposts are welcome if you don't know the answer.

I still remember when the keyboard settings were at the bottom, and almost with each major update it moved up a bit, and now it's the second in the list. lmso
