KDE devs have been quietly working on Plasma Keyboard, a new on-screen keyboard for desktop and mobile part of the “We Care About Your Input” KDE Goals initiative. Although not ready for texting yet, it has been making progress. Hopefully it'll be in a screen near you soon. Join the effort!

This Week in Plasma brings the news that, with Plasma 6.4 little more than a week away, developers are hard at work crushing bugs and polishing the code.

In other news: The app launcher menu favorites and the networks list in System Settings are now keyboard-accessible, the Info Center’s Energy graph gets a smooth animation, and much more.

KDE creates a safe haven for Windows 10 exiles.

In the context of the @Endof10 campaign, we have created a new "for" page, this time "for Windows 10 exiles":

https://kde.org/for/w10-exiles/

In it we explain how Linux with Plasma can help users escape the deranged cycle of having to buy a new computer every time Microsoft force-upgrades their operating system.
