Plasma 6.1 is here!
New features include a cool take on Plasma’s edit mode, keyboard LEDs that sync with accent colors, an inbuilt Remote Desktop Server that let’s you access Plasma desktops over a network, lots of bug corrections and improvements.
I’m still mind blown that you actually have official support for OpenBSD 🤯🐡
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.socialPlasma 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.
Maybe I’m just a boomer but this feature is so incredibly annoying to me and is one of the first things I disable on new installs
Alternate perspective: I use the heck out of session restore, and it has driven me nuts that it hasn’t worked properly under Wayland.
I tend to use different virtual desktops for different projects, so being able to reboot (because of a kernel update and needing to load a module or something) without losing and having to rebuild that state is is super valuable.
Can I have touchpad configuration on Wayland please…
Always fun to try new software, but how the bleep do I disable the screen edge between monitors? the little “catch” is driving me crazy.

Look under workspace behaviors. I believe it is hotcorners that are bothering you. Let me know if my quick guess is wrong.If like me your a noob who did now know how to change this, it’s in Mouse settings, Screen Edges, Edge Barrier. Set to 0, no more wall on the screen edge.
@Genom
I probably remember where it was in Plasma 5. Glad you found it.
Time to wait until it goes into Arch’s stable repos.
Note that due to unforeseen circumstances, we have been unable to ship the new wallpaper, “Reef”, with this version of Plasma. However, a new wallpaper will be coming soon in the next 6.2 version of Plasma.
If you can’t wait, you can download “Reef” from here:
