Thanks for sharing. As a Linux newb with a laptop running Fedora, I'm now curious whether I can download and use Plasma 6.7 or will it be distributed with the next Fedora update? 😊

I would just wait for the Fedora folks to pull it in and make it available to you.

It should be available in just a few days at most.

Do you mean as part of Fedora 44 or as an update?

[–] AcornTickler@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago

As an update to Fedora 44.

A regular update.

It happened yesterday! ✨

Yeah, it should come ~~with the next Fedora release, which is scheduled for October 20th~~.

Feature updates, ~~like this new Plasma version~~, get shipped every half year on Fedora. In between, you mostly just get security and bug fixes...

While that's the case for the Workstation (GNOME), in KDE Plasma version the desktop environment is a rolling release. It shouldn't take more than a a few days, considering their previous Plasma releases.

Oh, huh, I saw the release announcement for Fedora 44 explicitly mention Plasma 6.6, so I figured it was tied to the release. 🫠

Really?? Cool!

Youre fake news
