In my experience, the biggest issue with Plasma has always been the amount of annoying bugs and crashes, which kind of negated the experience for me, despite the cool extra features and the extensive customization options. However, this new strategy might pay off in the long term, and make Plasma a more stable experience.)</p><p>4MLinux 48.0 released with Linux kernel 6.12, updated packages, Kino (classic IEEE 1394 DV
