    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    With KDE Plasma 6 development going well and a beta potentially in a few months, the KDE Neon Linux distribution crew has created a new archive with the latest Plasma 6 and KDE Frameworks 6 components to help developers and enthusiasts in testing out this leading-edge open-source desktop code.

    The new KDE Neon Experimental was announced today for having experimental builds with pre-alpha KDE Frameworks 6 applications and the Plasma 6 desktop code.

    A new package called neon-settings-experimental has been added for KDE Neon users that point to this new archive.

    More details on the new KDE Neon Experimental archive and steps for enabling this Plasma 6 / KF6 testing grounds can be found via the neon.kde.org blog.

    Here’s a screenshot from the KDE Neon team of the current experimental desktop build:

    Given the communications that the KDE Plasma 6 betas will likely begin in 2~3 months, it’s looking like the first stable KDE Plasma 6.0 stable release will likely occur at some point in H1’2024 if all goes well.

    I am a hardcore, steadfast Gnomie, and I have been since Gnome-Shell 3.

    That said… I might have to give this a shot. I gotta say, Plasma 6 is looking nice. I still probably won’t become a KDE fan, but it’s fun to dive in and play around d with every major update.
