Finally! One of the most annoying issues is your system going to sleep while gaming with a controller, and KDE Plasma 6.6 will solve it.

Absolutely smashing their goals, the KDE team have managed to have a huge success for the 2025 fundraiser that's currently ongoing.

KDE Connect is a popular cross-platform app that allows you to send files across devices and more - with a security advisory being sent out due to a woops.

It was only a matter of time but it's nearly upon us - KDE Plasma with version 6.8 will be entirely dropping the X11 session to go full Wayland.

In the market for a new powerful laptop ready for the holiday season? Perhaps give a look to the new KDE Slimbook VII.

I recently did a bit of a major woops, and so I decided perhaps it is once again time to Linux distro hop and have settled on Fedora KDE.

The work never ends to improve the KDE Plasma desktop environment for Linux, and with Plasma 6.6 a fun new feature is coming to tweak virtual desktops.

The next big KDE Plasma release is here with Plasma 6.5 delivering a number of major new features, as the KDE team begin to show a lot more confidence.

KDE, the free software community that develops the likes of the KDE Plasma desktop, has turned 29 years old and they're doing a fresh fund-raiser.

The KDE team have been busy, as they're making their own full Linux distro with KDE Linux being a reference implementation OS for Plasma and KDE apps.

The next release of KDE Plasma is due in October and the developers have been working non-stop on some great new features for the popular desktop.

The KDE developers are working towards making the Plasma desktop environment more accessible, with an essential tweak to the defaults.

KDE developers confirm Plasma will continue having a maintained X11 session, and now we know Kubuntu will be Wayland by default.

KDE Plasma 6.4 has arrived bringing lots of modern enhancements to my favourite Linux desktop environment, and what's used on SteamOS / Steam Deck Desktop Mode.

KDE developer Nate Graham has written up a blog post detailing some planned changes coming to the KDE Plasma desktop, including doing away with the LTS (Long-Term Support) releases and instead extend the supported time for each release.

Work on the KDE Plasma desktop sounds like it continues to go very well, with some really important bug fixes arriving to make the experience a lot nicer. My favourite Linux desktop environment and what powers the Desktop Mode on Steam Deck.

Here's one I missed from earlier this week. KDE developer Nate Graham announced the formation of an open source consultancy company called Techpaladin Software, with their first client being Valve to continue improving the Steam Deck desktop mode which uses KDE Plasma.

KDE Plasma 6.3 has been released and it's another beautiful sounding release! Filled with new features and fixes for my favourite Linux desktop environment. Plasma is also used on the Steam Deck for the Desktop Mode.

The KDE team continuing building up the next version of the popular KDE Plasma desktop environment, with Plasma 6.3.0 getting some great additions.

In a few previous years, I decided to do a fresh take each time on what the best Linux distribution was for gaming - so I'm back for a 2025 edition of the article that will cause you to tell me how wrong and terrible I am.
