The KDE Plasma 6.4 development cycle is in full swing, with high-impact features landing daily ahead of its soft feature freeze. Following the recent developer sprint in Graz, the KDE team has introduced premium desktop optimizations, Wayland enhancements, and long-awaited usability improvements—solidifying Plasma’s position as a top-tier Linux desktop environment.
Key Highlights of KDE Plasma 6.4
1. Drag-and-Drop File Management: An 18-Year-Old Request Fulfilled
No more repetitive prompts! Plasma 6.4 finally allows users to configure drag-and-drop actions to automatically move files (instead of copy) when transferring within the same disk.
Boost productivity with streamlined file management—ideal for power users handling large datasets.
2. Enhanced Gesture Controls & Accessibility
Three-finger pinch gesture now activates KWin’s full-screen zoom, improving accessibility for visually impaired users.
Wayland protocol upgrades (including
zwp_tablet_pad_dial_v2,xdg_toplevel_tag_v1, andcolor_representation_v1) refine touchpad and stylus support for creative professionals.
3. Advanced System Monitoring & GPU Tracking
System Monitor now provides per-process GPU usage metrics for Intel and AMD graphics, crucial for developers and gamers optimizing performance.
New "Sensors" page in KDE Info Center displays LM-Sensors/HWMON data, offering deeper hardware diagnostics.
4. Gaming & Input Device Improvements
Refined joystick/gamepad support for smoother Linux gaming experiences.
KDE Frameworks 6.14 enhances the "Open or Run" dialog, reducing friction when launching executables.
Why These Updates Matter for Power Users
KDE Plasma continues to prioritize performance and customization, making it a premium choice for:
Developers needing low-latency Wayland support
Content creators leveraging high-DPI and stylus input
Gamers demanding seamless controller integration
Enterprise users requiring efficient file workflows
