There\u2019s now a new release that makes it even better.<\/p>\n<p>Just in time for Free Software Day, the KDE community has released Plasma 5.27, the latest version of the desktop environment used in operating systems like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/kubuntu.org\/\">Kubuntu<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/neon.kde.org\/\">KDE Neon<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.opensuse.org\/\">openSUSE<\/a>, and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/spins.fedoraproject.org\/kde\/\">Fedora KDE<\/a>. The best improvement might be the new tiling system, which allows you to set up custom tile layouts and resize adjacent windows simultaneously. It\u2019s much more powerful than the window tiling features in Windows, but the feature is \u201cstill in its infancy\u201d and might not work well for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>This release also cleans up the System Settings <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>, improving organization and moving some options around. Customization has been a focus with KDE for years, but the massive collection of options can be intimidating for newcomers, so it\u2019s nice to see some improvements there. The Discover app, which functions as the default app store and software manager, has also received a visual overhaul. There\u2019s a new homepage design, the search is a bit better, and Steam Deck owners can now run system updates from the desktop.<\/p>\n<p>There are many other improvements in Plasma 5.27, covering system widgets, the KRunner utility, the panel, multi-monitor support, and improvements to Wayland compositor support.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re using a rolling-release Linux distribution, like KDE Plasma, you should get the new Plasma desktop as an update sometime soon. Other distributions, such as Kubuntu or Fedora, will likely wait until the next OS release to roll it out. For example, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/kubuntu.org\/news\/plasma-5-27-beta-available-for-testing\/\">Kubuntu already has testing packages available for Plasma 5.27<\/a>, and there\u2019s a good chance that Kubuntu 23.04 Luna Lobster will ship with the update when it arrives in April.<\/p>\n<p><small>Source: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/kde.org\/announcements\/plasma\/5\/5.27.0\/\">KDE<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
