Plasma 6.1 is here!

New features include a cool take on Plasma’s edit mode, keyboard LEDs that sync with accent colors, an inbuilt Remote Desktop Server that let’s you access Plasma desktops over a network, lots of bug corrections and improvements.

Note that due to unforeseen circumstances, we have been unable to ship the new wallpaper, “Reef”, with this version of Plasma. However, a new wallpaper will be coming soon in the next 6.2 version of Plasma.

If you can’t wait, you can download “Reef” from here:

@textovervideo @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social It’s beautiful, but a shipwreck seems like a strange choice for a flagship wallpaper.

(Yes, pun intended - easy target.)

Do you have to already be logged in on the remote computer?

I’d very much imagine so. You aren’t going to have the DE loaded until you’ve gone through the DM. This would have to be integrated with SDDM in order to remotely log in.

Someone creates a username/password in System Settings and then activates the server on the remote computer. Then they need to approve you the first time you try to log in from your personal computer… I’m not sure this answers your question.

Yes, for now someone has to be logged in and have the server running

They didn’t even show how well scrolling works. I suppose that’s an indication that it’s pretty laggy
