KDE Plasma 6.7 is shaping up to be a big release, with the introduction of Plasma Bigscreen along with a new theme system.
The new theme system named Union, is designed to fix up the issues with theme fragmentation on KDE Plasma, bringing a more unified experience overall. With the Plasma 6.7 Beta, the KDE developers are asking people to stress-test it.
Another big exciting addition is Plasma Bigscreen, which is KDE's attempt to make Plasma look good on bigger TVs, HTPCs and set-top boxes. Something that might even be a lot better when docking the Steam Deck and for the Steam Machine / Steam Frame when they release too. Plasma 6.7 will be the first release to have it properly included.
More info on the announcement.
The full release of Plasma 6.7 is due June 16th.
This is going to be massive for docked handhelds, Raspberry Pi-based HTPCs, and SteamOS consoles. Dropping out of Steam into desktop mode on the TV will finally be manageable with just a controller, or even a standard TV remote.
Let's hope this entices Android/Google TV app developers to finally hop over to true Linux.
I am more interested in Union and may setup a VM to give a look.
- the current style tries to mimic breeze as close as possible
- if you want to tinker with the style, you can find them in `/usr/share/union/css/styles/breeze ` (and can be overidden in `~/.local/share/union/css/styles/breeze`
- currently only qtquick applications get styled, qtwidgets side is still work in progress (so discover will have new style, but dolphin will not)
Any kind of testing is welcome and report bugs in bugs.kde.org :)
