[$] The KDE desktop gets an overhaul with Plasma 6

It's been nearly 10 years since
KDE Plasma 5,
which is the last major release of the desktop.
On February 28 the project announced its 'mega release' of KDE
Plasma 6, KDE Frameworks 6, and KDE Gear 24.02 — all based on the Qt 6 development framework. This
release focuses heavily on migrating to Wayland, and aspires to be a seamless
upgrade for the user while improving performance, security, and support
for newer hardware. For developers, a lot of work has gone into removing
deprecated frameworks and decreasing dependencies to make it easier to write
applications targeting KDE.
