After this second Beta, there will be two Release Candidates, one on the 10th and the other on the 31st of January. All these releases are **not** final, they are for testing and should not be used in production...
... But many people are confirming that the current version is already very mature and quite stable. Ultimately it is your choice. Use at your own risk -- and report all those bugs to
The final release is only 10 weeks away!

13@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social ooooh yes. The alpha was a bit too unstable for my taste, but I already love the first beta (and of course reported quite some bugs) and now totally look forward to more and more stable versions

Simply wanna say how stoked I am to try this once it hits Arch, out of beta. Been following the development of this via Nicco Loves Linux on YouTube, and the hype has only continued to build. Let's go!
10@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social IS THAT A FLOATING TASKBAR

Yes, floating panels were added in Plasma 5.25.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social That is so cool!! Cannot wait to get my hands on it 😃
3@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social is it possible to install alongside plasma 5?
I'm happy to test but would love it if I could keep my daily driver setup as well.
2Unlikely. Best option would be to it in a VM, or install a second distro to your drive and upgrade it to Plasma 6.
2Yeah.... Dual boot.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social i downloaded the KDE Neon ISO and have it running in a VM.

It looks awesome! I admire your work and dedication, KDE guys!
2If I want a Debian based distro with the latest stable plasma, which one would you recommend?
2Hmm, if you count something based on Ubuntu as being Debian based (some people do, some people don't) then I believe that is exactly what KDE Neon is supposed to be!

The last stable release supplies 5.27.

Just updated my Arch laptop to Beta 2 this morning. Can't wait to use it much more later. :)
2Looks great! February can't get here any quicker!
2Those wallpapers are part of plasma 6?
1Isn't it disorienting to have the wallpaper change every 2 seconds?
1Pretty sure it is only configured like that to show off the new wallpaper through the video. I don't think I've ever seen a distro ship KDE with a rotating wallpaper (its always a static one, whether its KDE's main wallpaper, or the distro's selected wallpaper).
