It was only three weeks ago that Plasma Desktop 6.1.3 was released, which is a very fast turnaround for a desktop environment release (even though it's just a point release), but here we are.

The developers of the Plasma Desktop have released their latest iteration that adds several improvements and fixes.

On top of the list of improvements is a fix for Plasma Widget resizing to make the animation much smoother. Along the same lines, the developers have managed to make the pop-ups from the Task Manager to better scale.

There have been a lot of fixes to the KWin Window Manager, such as a fix for X11 windows being stuck in should_get_focus, a fix for checking whether GraphicsBufferView is nil, keeping the titlebar in the screen when open windows are too tall and would normally place it above the display, and several others fixes.

KWin also is now capable of running with real-time capabilities on systems that include the musl library. KWin's 10-bit color support is disabled for monitors that are plugged into a dock and the triple-buffering features no longer stutter.

The Plasma Desktop offers improvements in the folder view, applets/task manager, and KRunner no longer shows a match if just one query word matches.

This update also fixes issues with Discover, Dr. Konqi, KGamma, KPipeWire, KRdp, KScreen, kscreenlocker, and more.

You can read the details for the entire update in the official release notes.
