KDE probably.

I’m the Kath-man.
Built-in OneDrive and RDP support. No apps needed. I like the sound of that.
Nice. The improvements to Nautilus (Files) are welcome, but it’s still the the reason why I’m leaving Gnome for KDE, anyhow. I can’t stand Nautilus.
You can change the default file manager. I’ve been using Nemo for years because Nautilus was pretty bad. Once I update I’ll have to re-evaluate and see what I think.
It’s a real shame that Nautilus doesn’t have a built in split view, I always love that when I try Dolphin.
Nautilus used to have Split pane mode
Congratulations to all involved!
The RDP improvements are huge. If only KDE supported remotely logging into a session that wasn’t already logged in on Wayland.
What a great looking release. I’m most excited that we finally have proper caldav/carddav support built in!
With VRR as an experimental feature at least. Finally!
I am using GNOME with Fedora and NixOS on multiple machines. I sincerely thank the hard work of maintainers and contributors.
Seems like a fantastic release. Well done to all involved.
I just nuked last night my fedora system running gnome and fresh installed Kde. Awesome timing.
I did the same a month ago… Still no regrets.
Looking forward to updating and trying it.
What I wish for in the future: -ability to have your Thunderbird calendar displayed in the Gnome shell calendar without going through Evolution -a better guided tour for newcomers as it’s easy to miss a lot of the features offered -automount easily my kDrive cloud via WebDAV
Otherwise I love Gnome even if I’m looking forward to customizing a Plasma 6 VM.
Release on Arch when?
KDE6 took a week or so, didn’t it?
GNOME on Arch is a special thing. Unlike KDE and other DEs, GNOME arrives in like 3-4 weeks after the official release
For my own learning and understanding, why does it take that long for GNOME on Arch?
Afaik they’re waiting for version xx.1 with bug fixes. Idk if GNOME is unstable in xx.0 and idk why it has such a special place on Arch but what I do know is that Plasma 6 is quite bad now with its 6.0.2 so I guess this delay is a good idea because I’m a GNOME user and I want stable experience
The added benefit in the delay on Arch is that most maintained extensions will have already been made compatible by the time it hits the repos.
Don’t think it’s bad? It seems to have been a great release with Plasma 6. Don’t have any issues myself and haven’t seen anything major. But maybe I missed it.
Idk about your hardware but on mine it’s not good. There were even full desktop crashes (the ones that make systemd boot log appear and only switching to a different session can make the system usable again). Btw I noticed issues on both Xorg and Wayland smh. Can’t remember them now though
Yeah it can vary of course. It works good on my machine. Amd graphics.
@GolfNovemberUniform @heygooberman Plasma 6.0.3 is out on Tuesday next week upstream and GNOME 46.1 is out sometime in April
It’s already in extra-testing so I expect it to come soon, unless its dependency on util-linux-libs-2.40rc2, which is currently in core-testing, slows it down.
When in Tumbleweed?
Much sooner than on Arch
KDE Plasma 6 made it to Arch about a week before Tumbleweed. Tumbleweed is also still using Xorg by default for Plasma 6. That said both had it in their repos withing 2 weeks of release. Is there some history here for Gnome on Arch?
The GNOME release delay issue is here at least since GNOME 44. I’m not completely sure about older releases
These updates land on testing quickly, however due to the several packages updated at once, they all need to be tested by volunteers, and only when all of them are signed it’s pushed out of testing

Smiling over Gnome at Kathmandu, the capital.
