"KDE Plasma 6.5 is a significant release with a lot of small improvements in fit and finish; the project's announcement refers to this release as an "inflection point" and says "KDE is on the verge of making it big for the general public." This version has performance and accessibility improvements, simplifies connecting to and sharing Wi-Fi networks, and can automatically switch between light and dark display modes (optionally changing the wallpaper to match)."
"So it's inevitable that some bugs found their way in - Plasma is a large and very complex suite of software. One week later, KDE Plasma 6.5.1 followed, which has no new features at all but contains fixes for, by our reckoning, 63 different bugs. The bugs are not all newly introduced - for instance, bug #385856 involves panel shortcuts rearranging when you drop a new item on the panel, and that one dates back to 2017."
"One of the new features in Plasma 6.5 won't be visible to many existing users, as it targets OEMs shipping new hardware with KDE Plasma pre-installed. The new Plasma Setup tool, which was announced back in August, provides an improved KDE Initial System Setup - or as some vendors call it, "out-of-box experience." This is not to be confused with the Plasma Welcome app, which runs on your first login to a new account."
KDE Plasma 6.5 introduced numerous fit-and-finish improvements, performance and accessibility enhancements, simplified Wi‑Fi connection and sharing, and optional automatic switching between light and dark display modes with matching wallpaper. One week after release, KDE Plasma 6.5.1 arrived with no new features and fixes for 63 bugs, including longstanding panel shortcut rearrangement (bug #385856 from 2017) and newer issues like screen corruption when adding or removing monitors and corrupted mouse pointers on AMD GPUs. A new Plasma Setup tool targets OEMs and runs on first boot to configure the initial account, language, and keyboard layout.
