    Plasma 6 has so many fucking bugs. Holy shit it drives me crazy.

    One thing is, that when starting Apex Legends, all Windows just suddenly start to loose the understanding on whether they should go below or over a Window when focused. They suddenly go below other windows when focused.

    Sound System Notification sound too loud? Well, shit for you, you can’t make it quieter now.

    Having two monitors with each a panel on the bottom? After a suspend and wake up, its possible that your main panel or right one just goes inbetween those two Monitors.

      Linux users telling you to use their new cool Desktop Environment is always bait.

      Fr if I turn on my laptop with a monitor connected, the taskbar will be on the monitor, regardless of the settings, every time. Also Bluetooth definitively died.
      I’ve been thinking of switching distros for a while, maybe a fresh install helps?

      Actua, plasma 5 was exactly as wonky with the panels already, especially when using different monitor setups in office and at home

        Well, for me at least Plasma 5.27 did work fine

    Of course the cube doesn’t work for me as I have six desktops and as we all know, cubes only have four sides 🙄

    Why is everyone so hyped about this? As far as I remember the cube has been there since… I can’t even remember, I know KDE 3.5 had the cube but I’m not sure if it existed before, so it’s literally been there for at least two decades.

      The cube was taken away from us but it has been brought back in plasma 6

      It was dropped from Kwin for awhile. Now it’s back.

      Why is everyone so hyped about this?

      Part nostalgia, part simply because it became a meme to use it.

      I am pretty sure Plasma 5 didn’t have it by default. There might have been a 3rd-party extension, though.

    I have setup the cube to a hotkey and only used it to test if it is working. It’s amazing, but kind of useless. :D

          Oooh I’ve seen this years ago ! looks pretty cool. It’s basically a workspace switcher.

      It’s not useless. It’s a gateway drug for getting into linux. “But can your windows PC do this?” is a great way to recruit people to try linux ;)

    I admit that I’m a little disappointed I can’t set it as my virtual desktop switch animation, and that it defaults to pointing down when invoked, but I am hopeful it’s just a matter of time on those details. :)

    It ain’t quite the compiz/beryl cube, nor even what I remember as the last iteration of the kwin cube, but it’s a step in the right direction!

      Exactly, I never had the zoom-out cube, just the desktop switch version, and it was painful to lose. I was so looking forward to that in 6 but no. 😢 The zoom cube is fun too though.

        I have noticed you can switch desktops after invoking with whatever keyboard shortcuts you have designated for that. I’m betting we get it as a switcher choice in an update or three…

    If I learned anything when using Blender, it’s that the first thing you do is to delete the default cube.

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.
