Plasma 6.5 debuted this week that KDE developers and users have been celebrating. But it's already on to working out fixes for Plasma 6.5.1 as well as new feature activity toward Plasma 6.6.

KDE developer Nate Graham opened this week's Plasma status update by commenting on the newly-released Plasma 6.5 being a "rather smooth" release. One significant regression noted was when using older AMD GPUs that the cursor would be turned into "Swiss cheese" but that regression is already fixed for Plasma 6.5.1.

The winver is so funny to me.

I never used the command, and I am professionaly supporting Windows endpoints for the last 10 years. To think casual users would is wild.

But, you know. It didn't cost me nothing.

It didn't cost me nothing.

So, then how much did it cost you?

An imperceptible amount on his electricity bill as the screen of the PR reviewer increases demand, having rippling near-zero effects on the worldwide markets
