Plasma 6.0 has been released. Check out the new overview, improved colour management, a cleaner theme, more effects, better overall performance, and much more.
I’d say the GTX 960 is unlikely to be the bottleneck. Plasma really does not need a recent GPU.
@leopold That’s the thing though, I built the current PC during the pandemic and crypto craze. Everything is relatively new, except the GPU, because I couldn’t afford one, but I needed a better CPU for audio recording and editing.
that is definitely not the case. that would make the plasma wayland session essentially unusable on nvidia, even though many users have reported it working fine.
When was the last time you used KDE? It’s been able to run on low-spec machines since KDE4 which about a decade old
last time I used KDE was today. you probably meant to reply to someone else, tho.
