KDE Plasma 5.8 LTS Now Available In Beta Form
The beta of the upcoming KDE Plasma 5.8 -- the first Plasma 5 long-term support release -- is now available for early testing.
KDE Plasma 5.8 is bringing a unified boot to shutdown artwork, right-to-left language support, improved desktop applets, simplified global shortcuts, better multi-screen support, and much better Wayland support. With Plasma 5.8 the Wayland support is beginning to reach parity with the X11 support. In fact, KDE Neon developer images will switch to Wayland by default, but it will still probably be a bit longer before more KDE Linux distributions begin running KDE Wayland as their X.Org Server replacement.
More details on today's KDE Plasma 5.8 LTS Beta can be found via the announcement at dot.kde.org.
