Welcome to a new issue of This Week in Plasma!
This week the Plasma team really really really focused on bug fixing and UI polishing, in preparation for the Plasma 6.5 release next month.
Until you provide a proper .iso file, not much people will try KDE Linux with Ventoy.
Testing it in a VM isnât the same thing.
Maybe you could at least do step 2 of https://www.ventoy.net/en/plugin_vtoyboot.html and provide the result as a .vtoy file. I donât know if it actually works though.
Hello, Iâd like to thank everyone who contributed. KDE 6.5 is progressing really well right now. I try to report any bugs I encounter as much as I can. However, Iâm not currently using the KDE bug tracker because itâs a bit cluttered and has an old-fashioned interface that frankly confuses me.
Besides that, I have an idea, and I think itâs quite important. A better interface could be designed for exploring. The current interface isnât bad, but I still think the user experience could be improved with a better design. It would also be much nicer if some KDE applications had more modern and aesthetically pleasing icons.
Furthermore, Iâve noticed that thereâs been a problem with the KDE Connect connection for a long time. Although this has been mentioned by many people, Iâve noticed that there still hasnât been a definitive solution. KDE Connect is a truly wonderful application, and itâs a shame that such a wonderful piece of software is being overshadowed by such issues.
If you can write that .raw, according to the instructions, with a thing literally called âISO Image writerâ should it not be basically identical to a .iso? Donât know.
Personally I tried Ventoy, with actual ISOs once and it totally failed, never touched again.
The difference between writing the .raw file and using Ventoy is that the former needs a an exclusive USB disk. With Ventoy, you can just copy multiple ISO images to the same USB disk and choose one at boot time. It is just more convenient.
nothing about upcoming gesture (re-writen) support⌠going back to sleep.
KDE is an open community that produces publicly owned software. âPublicly ownedâ implies that users contract responsibilities when they decide to use it.
One of those responsibilities is to not act like they are passive consumers and, instead, help where they can. The users own the software as much as the developers do after all.
Saying that something is missing or that must be changed and then sitting back expecting KDE volunteers do the work for you for free is counterproductive, as you demoralise and make KDE contributors want to quit.
Please consider your messages more carefully and think about how you can help KDE achieve its (and your) goals by reading up on how you too can make change happen:

Yes, youâre absolutely right. Everyone should contribute their best, no matter how little or how much. This could be a donation, but in my opinion, the most important resource is people.
I also have some experience, especially in article content and visual artwork, and I want to contribute in these areas. However, thereâs a sad situation. While the KDE community is quite large globally, the Turkish community is unfortunately quite small and seems to have been forgotten. While there have been a few positive developments recently, none of them have led to any concrete results.
In fact, if a restructuring process were initiated for KDE Turkey and experienced Turkish-speaking individuals could guide this process, I would be ready to do everything I could. For example, I could translate blog posts, share new developments, and produce articles. I could also contribute to areas such as visual design, desktop wallpapers, social media cover designs, and post designs.
If any KDE Turkey officials or anyone interested in working on this topic come across this post, I would be happy to meet with them. Of course, my priority would be to be able to communicate in Turkish. Even though I have experience with languages, accents and language differences from different countries can sometimes cause difficulties.
Great attitude. Letâs make it happen.
Go here:
and get in touch with your fellow Turkish KDE user friends.
I made you a chat room for you and your friends:
Edit: There is an established room at
Letâs use that.
Time to get started organising the Turkish chapter of KDE.
When you start setting up events and need stickers and other kinds of support, let us know. Weâll help you out.
Dragging widgets on top of other widgets no longer bogs down the system with an amount of lag proportional to the refresh rate of the mouse used to drag it. Now itâs always nice and smooth
Marco Martin also fixed a bug with this! Was a group effort 
Thank you for your kindness and support. I will immediately open a thread on this topic in the KDE Turkish Forum and invite everyone who wants to participate. I hope we can build a wonderful community and create valuable work together.
@Paul_Brown, instead of copying the same text to multiple messages, tagging multiple relevant users in one response might be more effective.
Silly questions, but where can I find that rainbow wallpaper in the blog post called Alberta? 
i do expect it to be done, since there was a grant given to fund it and a public declaration to deliver from developer who received it. my expectation is rational and far form trying to pressurize something based solely on my frustration(ur assumption?). we (users) offered a stack of motivation($) before nlnet foundation did their good, so because iâm not a dev, this was the only way i was able to help regarding topic. as an individual i find mouse gestures extremely useful and clever way to speed up workflow, so the topic excites me. since itâs not mentioned in this blog post, it doesnât make my heart rate higher⌠hence iâm going back to sleep 
Agreed, I started using Ventoy about two months ago and it is the better approach. I manage about eight computers in the household and Ventoy has been a great help for testing and deployment.
The only thing Iâm missing on KDE is some love for USB storage
Using it at work(and home) and itâs a pain to deal with USB flash storage devices.
Repairing them requires Gnome drives!( Same like repairing fixed Disks).
Then formatting using something like Kparted , you get permission issues. Not fun in a office environment.
A simple Windows like solution to format or repair with right click is required.
We have that now, and the USB applet even prompts you to fix it before mounting. Are you using the latest KDE Plasma?
Our partition manager having permission issues for you should be triaged and a bug report created if necessary, I have no trouble using it for formatting.
Not to be that guy, but there is no such feature for me in KDE Neon, Plasma 6.4.5 . Just checked now. Inserting my SSD , which I removed on purpose to create a fault while copying something , I get the message : âAn error occurred while accessing â465.8 GiB Removable Mediaâ, the system responded: The requested operation has failed: Error mounting /dev/sdc1 at /media/lolren/6ED3155D403440D2: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error â.
Kde Partition Manager, which is the only relevant option, checks it with success but cannot fix it.
Gnome Disks, is the only known way for me to fix it.
This is a serious issue for new comers.
Please , any KDE devs, try to replicate the issue.
