From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How do you make a great desktop into a fantastic desktop? Easy — chip away at the rough bits, polish the good stuff, and add awesomeness. After 29 years of development, KDE’s got the foundation nailed down. Plasma 6.5 is all about fine-tuning, fresh features, and a making everything smooth and sleek for everyone.

Ready to see what’s new? Let’s dive into Plasma 6.5!

Highlights:

Automatic Theme Transitions: Configure when your theme will transition from light to dark and back.
Caret Text Navigation: Zoom now swoops in to where you type
KRunner Fuzzy Search: Even if you type it wrong, KRunner will find it!

My only beef with KDE is just that there's always been 'too much' of it. Like, every settings screen and right-click context menu just like, goes on for days.

There needs to be a prominent toggle switch between 'Turbo Nerd Mode' and 'Babby's First DE'.

there is depending on what distro you're on and the packages they provide for Plasma.

Like Arch for example you can get a barebones basic version of KDE Plasma. NixOS you can tell it to ignore certain parts of Plasma from the package when you're building it. I would assume other distros have something similar. This applies to the settings too. you can literally make your plasma include zero kwin stuff if you wanted.
