Time for a little testing over the weekend, as the KDE team have released Plasma 6.2 Beta along with updated Plasma Wayland Protocols.
Some of the major changes include:
- Turned on support for KWin's implementation of the Wayland color management protocol.
- Per-monitor brightness control.
- Ability to override apps that are blocking sleep or screen locking.
- Discover: Ability to shut down after applying an offline system update, not just reboot.
- Full Sticky Keys support on Wayland.
- Support for turning on the "autoscrolling" feature of the Libinput driver.
While not technically a "feature", it will also include the new once a year donation request pop-up that was covered recently here on GamingOnLinux.
See the release announcement for more.
For the Plasma Wayland Protocols 1.14.0 release the changes are:
- Add a protocol for externally controlled display brightness.
- Output device: add support for brightness in SDR mode.
- Plasma-window: add client geometry + bump to v18.
- Add warnings discouraging third party clients using internal desktop environment protocols.
Will you be jumping in to help test the next release?

Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
They still have not fixed the bug where KWin force-syncs itself to the XRandR lowest common refresh rate. They fixed it in Wayland back in 2020 and refuse to acknowledge it for X users despite older KDE versions working just fine on X... I think I will stick to Trinity, sorry. The lack of proper maitenance on Plasma X11 is not acceptable. Even if Wayland is the future.
