Did this bring KDE bigscreen view too?
This is what I was most excited for. There is just one vague mention of it in the KDE changelog and it still says "coming soon" on the plasma Bigscreen website I think they just need a bit more time to polish it up and make some documentation.
Will plasma big screen be included in main KDE desktop?
If anyone's curious where all these new settings and changes are, there's a video by linux experiment that goes through them.
As someone who came to Linux/Plasma from macOS, the way Plasma has dealt with virtual desktops has always baffled me. So I'm glad to see that it now works much more like the way I'm used to. Bravo!
I'm kind of the opposite, I didn't even know per-monitor virtual desktops were a thing, so I was blissfully ignorant of its capabilities. But seeing it in action from clip in the announcement post, I now know what I'm missing and can't wait for it to be rolled out in my distro!
I think the new default keyboard shortcuts for switching between virtual desktop in the overview is neat too.
I used to have a Mac mini at work with two displays. I kept Thunderbird in one virtual space on the left and would switch to it as I needed. Moving to Kubuntu, it drove me mad that I had to move both desktops to get to my email.
It was extra ironic, because where macOS treats both desktops as the same in terms of the Dock and wallpaper, Plasma actually treats all desktops as spaces that require separate settings. So the panel on one screen can look completely different to another. So they're separate in a way that makes no sense to me, but not separate in a way that also makes no sense to me.
But ultimately it doesn't really matter, and I've been able to work with it just fine.
