How to restart plasma panel?

I don’t think you can reload only the panel, but reloading plasmashell should be painless. There are a few ways:

  • systemctl restart --user plasma-plasmashell
  • plasmashell --replace
  • kquitapp6 plasmashell (&& plasmashell if it doesn’t restart automatically)
  • killall plasmashell (&& plasmashell if it doesn’t restart automatically)

I prefer using the systemctl method since it deals directly with the service.
