Plasma 6.5 debuted this week that KDE developers and users have been celebrating. But it’s already on to working out fixes for Plasma 6.5.1 as well as new feature activity toward Plasma 6.6.

KDE developer Nate Graham opened this week’s Plasma status update by commenting on the newly-released Plasma 6.5 being a “rather smooth” release. One significant regression noted was when using older AMD GPUs that the cursor would be turned into “Swiss cheese” but that regression is already fixed for Plasma 6.5.1.

    The winver is so funny to me.

    I never used the command, and I am professionaly supporting Windows endpoints for the last 10 years. To think casual users would is wild.

    But, you know. It didn’t cost me nothing.

      I thought it was going to be interesting compatibility shit and turns out it’s just the weirdest alias ever.

      Why would anyone think of “Windows version” when using Linux??

        More useful would be having appwiz.cpl aliasing to… Discover maybe. I actually use that one.

      winver is a command that tells you your windows version. Usually used to determine if a box needs to be upgraded.

      Type Win+R and enter “winver.”

        Sure, but in 35 years on windows I’ve never used it.

        Only makes sense to use it in a script, which you wouldn’t just drop into Linux anyway.

    If the Windows key – that in most keyboards today also has the Windows logo – is called in KDE ‘Super’, a Windows command that refers to Windows in it, should have its name changed too.
