From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


As part of a monthly status update concerning Plasma 6 development, KDE developer Nate Graham confirmed that the team is planning to release Plasma 6.0 in February of 2024.

KDE developers are aiming for early February to officially release Plasma 6.0, but a specific date has yet to be determined.

February doesn't come as a big surprise with beta releases expected later this year, prior talks about a possible winter release of Plasma 6, and much of the major feature development work around Plasma 6 wrapping up.

KDE developers have been making nice progress on their upgrades with Plasma 6, including some recent changes like double click by default and tap-to-click by default.

There is also now support for automatic bug reporting within DrKonqi, icons throughout Plasma now exclusively are supplied by the system-wide icon theme, and there has been a lot of bug fixing.

More details on the current state of KDE Plasma 6 can be found via this status update by prominent KDE developer Nate Graham.

I'd argue it's implied that you mean the coming February if no year is specified.
