Debian Trixie to Plasma 6

[AVLinux]

Dang!

The 5.12 Kernel has the full Realtime (RT) capabilities baked in without any patches, simply a boot switch to turn it on... A pretty big milestone in the kernel world, hopefully it will become the default (not that it's a very big deal to update)

Do you mean the 6.12 kernel?

Typo fixed, thanks!

@Germ What did you think of Plasma 6's default rounded floating toolbar?

I saw that when I booted KDE Neon's live ISO and didn't care for it.
(it can be restored in settings)

[AVLinux]

I'm curious if there is any change in Plasma 6 of the storage and handling of the system configuration files? I briefly tried KDE recently and it was very attractive but I couldn't believe it's bad housekeeping with the config stuff, most DE's contain their stuff in a single dot folder or ~/.config subfolder and I thought in the past KDE did too but it seems Plasma 5 didn't..

It's OK, but I changed back to the old toolbar.

Config files seem to be like in Plasma 5. They are all over the place.
