Plasma 6.8

Plasma 6.8 — 30th Anniversary Edition includes:

An improved remote desktop system featuring better performance and higher quality output, a new exclusive mode that can lock the server’s screen, and handy bi-directional clipboard 📋 synchronization.

Plasma’s Remote Desktop settings and the KRDC application in use

Better support for third-party app windows adding shadows, outlines, and rounded corners to client-side-decorated windows that can’t provide visual niceties to third party apps.

Third party apps, like Steam, now show pretty windows with classy details

A more universal outlook, offering more national and ethnic calendars, and support for keyboards for more languages.

A view of the on-screen keyboard configured to support the Amharic language and alphabet.

…and much more! Read the full Plasma 6.8 announcement here to find out about the rest.
