Coming to your favorite desktop: cool interface re-designs (rounded corners! Automatic smooth light-to-dark transitions!), features (smart KRunner searches! Pinned clipboard items!) and tons of usability and accessibility improvements.

Fuzzy search on the start menu was my main issue. No KDE, I wasn't searching for Firwfox...

Stupid computers, always doing what you tell them, never what you want. Guess that's changing.

[-] GottaHaveFaith@fedia.io 5 points 2 weeks ago

Autocorrect/fuzzy search have been available on mobile phones and search engines since what, 10 years? 20?

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 3 points 2 weeks ago

Probably longer. But still someone had to go tell the machine how to do it. And AI has shown us how hilariously wrong that can go when taken to extremes.

KRunner, Plasma’s search/launch/unit converter/calculator/“but wait, there’s more” tool, uses fuzzy matching to look up applications. This means that even if you misspell an app’s name, KRunner will probably still find it for you. How search results are ordered has also been improved, and KRunner will start to provide those results after the first character is typed.

Oh nice!

I also didn't know it could do unit conversions lol

Wow, this is how it's done! Can't wait to install this update.

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 3 points 2 weeks ago

Great to see work done on the accessibility front!

[-] ChocolateFrostedSugarBombs@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Awesome! I can't wait to install it! Any plans for a Miracast solution to be built in? I know that's not an easy protocol to work with.

[-] SterlingArgent@piefed.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

I’m so happy to have automatic light and dark mode!

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

Do I get my AutoHotKey back yet?

[-] Grimtuck@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I don't get it. No AI integration?!
