Linux-Desktop: KDE Plasma 5.21.3 mit über 100 Optimierungen erschienen

Die Arbeiten an der freien Desktop-Umgebung KDE Plasma gehen unvermindert und mit hohem Tempo weiter. Jetzt haben die Entwickler von KDE die neue Version 5.21.3 freigegeben, die mehr als 100 Optimierungen für KDE Plasma 5.21.1 und 5.21.2, die das Zusammenspiel von Nvidia Optimus und Wayland verbessert haben, mitbringt.

Nächster Halt: KDE Plasma 5.22

Wie bereits KDE Plasma 5.21.1 und 5.21.2 ist KDE Plasma 5.21.3 in erster Linie ein Qualitätsupdate, welches mit mehr als 100 Fehlerkorrekturen und Optimierungen die Entwicklung auf dem Weg zu KDE Plasma 5.22 und 5.23, die für Juni respektive Oktober vorgesehen sind, weiter vorantreiben soll. Basierend auf dem GUI-Toolkit Qt in der Version 5.15 halten die Entwickler das Entwicklungstempo extrem hoch. So ist der modulare Desktop für Linux und BSD erst Mitte Februar in der Version 5.21 veröffentlicht worden.

Mit dem aktuellen Point Release stehen vor allem der neue Plasma System Monitor, Optimierungen für Apps auf Basis der quelloffenen Programmbibliothek GTK und einmal mehr das Display-Server-Protokoll Wayland im Mittelpunkt.

Die offiziellen Release Notes von KDE Plasma 5.21.3 fallen noch einmal deutlich umfangreicher aus als bei den zwei Point Releases zuvor.

KDE Plasma 5.21 auf ComputerBase

Anwender, die KDE Plasma 5.21 einmal ausprobieren möchten, können dies mit der speziell zu diesem Zwecke konzipierten Linux-Distribution KDE neon tun, welche unterhalb dieser Meldung aus dem Download-Archiv von ComputerBase heruntergeladen werden kann.

Die großen Linux-Distributionen, die als Rolling Release ausgelegt sind, sollten in den kommenden Tagen über die eigenen Repositories ebenfalls Zugriff auf die aktuellen Softwarepakete von KDE Plasma 5.21.3 erhalten.

GeckoLinux als Alternative

Eine durchaus interessante Alternative mit KDE Plasma 5.21.x sind die openSUSE-Derivate GeckoLinux („STATIC“) und GeckoLinux („ROLLING“), die auf openSUSE Leap und dem zum jeweiligen Zeitpunkt aktuellen Spin von openSUSE Tumbleweed basieren.

Wie anpassbar KDE Plasma ist, zeigt das YouTube-Tutorial von „Linux Scoop“.
