Unfortunately for Microsoft there aren't any big UI or UX changes in Plasma 6. Guess they'll have to wait to steal ideas for Windows 12.

Unfortunately for Microsoft there aren’t any big UI or UX changes in Plasma 6. Guess they’ll have to wait to steal ideas for Windows 12.

According to a Win12 screenshot from October 2022, Microsoft has been copying macOS's floating dock since before KDE decided to also copy that. Amusingly, in the merge request for the Plasma change, this was even pointed out:

Luckily it's still Plasma, so such needless changes just for the sake of looking like macOS are customizable and can be easily reverted by us users.

since before KDE decided to also copy that.

Quick search says that floating deck looks like default XFCE panel. How they correlate?

OS/2 Warp also had something similar.
