"This Week in Plasma" brings drag'n'drop now made easy, zoom with a gesture, higher quality for the RDP server, per CPU and task monitoring, and many more tasty goodies.

Omg, that drag and drop is freaking genius.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I presume the RDP server is X only? (Wayland user here.)

no it works on wayland, but not unattended. You also need an h264 encoder, so depending on your distro's stance on nonfree software you might not have hardware acceleration without extra steps or repositories being added

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I don’t know why but shouldn’t plasma uses more ram than windows 10?

[-] Zamundaaa@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 day ago

Why would it?

[-] Bro666@lemmy.kde.social 4 points 2 days ago

That would not make sense. Plasma does not spy on you, or feed you ads, or make processes clunkier to force you to upgrade to new hardware. All that extra bloat that comes with Windows is just no there.

[-] MyNameIsRichard@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

The real question is why isn't Windows lighter?
