In KDE Plasma 6.6 Spectacle can read texts from screenshots, a new on-screen keybord is available for testing, a first-time wizard was added, current theme can be saved as a new global theme, emoji selector got a new easier skin tone selection, you can now connect to a Wi-Fi network via a QR code, application sound volume can be changed by scrolling over a taskbar button via mouse, and there is much more.

    Oh boy, feature freeze for Ubuntu 26.04 is on Thursday. Hopefully, they still include this update.

    My work laptop unfortunately comes with Kubuntu LTS and I desperately want the virtual-desktops-only-on-the-primary-screen feature on there. Currently, I’m the guy that actively disables all but one screen, because my workflow does not work at all with the secondary screen switching in sync with the primary screen.

      Same here. My workaround so far has been to put the windows that belong on the secondary to the “Keep Window on All Desktops” mode.

        Yeah, I’ve done that occasionally, too, but it adds a load of friction for moving windows between screens, in particular also when un-/replugging the screen, so it’s still painful enough that I don’t bother with a second screen.

        I guess, it also plays a role that I do use lots of workspaces, so it’s 1) extra painful and 2) I don’t have as big of a need for a second screen, since I can just switch out what first screen displays very quickly.
