25 years ago today, Matthias Ettrich sent an email to the
de.comp.os.linux.misc newsgroup explaining a project he was working
on. The latest and direct result of that email (plus a quarter of a
century of relentless experimentation, development and innovation)
has just landed in KDE’s repositories.
This time around, Plasma renews its looks and, not only do you get a
new wallpaper, but also a gust of fresh air from an updated theme:
Breeze - Blue Ocean. The new Breeze theme makes KDE apps and tools
not only more attractive, but also easier to use both on the desktop
and your phone and tablet.
Of course, looks are not the only you can expect from Plasma 25AE:
extra speed, increased reliability and new features have also found
their way into the app launcher, the software manager, the Wayland
implementation, and most other Plasma tools and utilities.
Read on to find out all the details that make the new Plasma 25AE so
deserving of a celebration [1]
