Plasma 5.17 is the version where the desktop anticipates your needs. Night
Color, the color-grading system that relaxes your eyes when the sun sets, has
landed for X11. Your Plasma desktop also recognizes when you are giving a
presentation, and stops messages popping up in the middle of your slideshow. If
you are using Wayland, Plasma now comes with fractional scaling, which means
that you can adjust the size of all your desktop elements, windows, fonts and
panels perfectly to your HiDPI monitor.
The best part? All these improvements do not tax your hardware! Plasma 5.17 is
as lightweight and thrifty with resources as ever.
Important startup change:
With Plasma 5.17 the startup script has been renamed. People who use the
.xinitrc method to start Plasma have to call the new binary.
Previously:
exec ck-launch-session startkde
Change to:
exec ck-launch-session startplasma-x11

Thanks to
antoine@ for the exp-runs,
tcberner@ for most of the prep-work,
the Gentoo community for cherry-picking patches
There are a bunch of changes in (implicitly included) headers, which
broke existing KDE Applications builds; that's why there are a whole
bunch of "patch-gentoo-kf5-5.61-headers" patches (taken from Gentoo
packaging). Those will go away with the next KDE Applications release,
