   It's coming! The date for the big release of KDE's new desktop environment has been set.

   #Plasma6 should land on your computer in February 2024 🤞.

     @kde @kde@lemmy.kde.social In a sense it feels long overdue, but it also does take time and feels very new...

     My question is what happens to Qt5? I feel like it's because of #KDE it continues to be maintained at all, and yet many other projects still utterly depend on Qt5, even believe they don't need to migrate to Qt6 or otherwise refuse to. I believe HelloSystems is in this category.

     @kde @kde@lemmy.kde.social what I do like from what I have seen of this is the idea, which I love in Xfce, of trying to produce the best possible version of KDE at the time, rather than wasting real user's time by completely re-imagining and re-inventing what a desktop even means to stroke private egos. That is the difference between greater value construction over time, and it's continual destruction.
