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.

winver is a command that tells you your windows version. Usually used to determine if a box needs to be upgraded.

Type Win+R and enter “winver.”

Sure, but in 35 years on windows I’ve never used it.

Only makes sense to use it in a script, which you wouldn’t just drop into Linux anyway.

I don't even think you'd use it in a script, it comes up with a dialog box, it's basically the "about" pop up for Windows

Surely there is a text/CLI based one likely, but I don't think winver has a mode for that
