At this point you’ve heard a lot about Plasma 6, and each of my weekly “This week in KDE” brings news of a few new features, UI changes, or bugfixes that are only in Plasma 6. But how do we get there, and how long will it take?
The developers release a new plasma version every 4 months, Plasma 5.27 has been released in February.
They will not release a 5.28 (June) since they are working on the next major release. They intend to release Plasma 6 when 5.29 should have been, October 2023.
Here[1] you can find more information on their schedule.
It’s nice to see where there’re at and have a bit of background about the process.
I love how Nate needs to state plenty that it’s roughly-non-official-very-dirty-guesstimate because he knows some people would jump to conclusions.
