I switched to testing repo and updated and then switched back.

Approximately 2,850 commits!
(Personally, if a project of mine had more than a few hundred commits per release I would start getting nervous ā¦).

Maybe if you have a rather small project, but something the size of KDE thats not exactly unusual. You also need to consider there are that it isnt one colossal thing but an umbrella of projects that make up KDE/Plasma.
If you look at the amount of different projects this update touches about 50+ different projects across the KDE ecosystem so the average commit count is around 50 per project (the actual number isnt that) with KWIN probably having the most commits considering the added features and wayland work done on it and the complexity of making a good compositor.

I got this and all the updates that were in testing. Running flawless.

Maybe, but the actual ruler is āLines in: ???, Lines out: ???ā
Some commits may be 5 lines of code, while others dozens or even hundreds.

is it using qt6 now ?
No, that will be in Plasma 6, which will hopefully be released by the end of the year.
Plasma 5.27 is a LTS release, and is the last in the 5 series.

Insanely polished! The only issue i have is that some of these features or packages arenāt on the EOS install and i donāt always know what to install or not to install in order to get the features I would like without adding stuff I wouldnāt. For instance the tiling doesnāt seem to have whatās needed to make it work? Do i need to add a package such. I donāt see the tiling editor Nick talks about in the settings? Maybe the Eos version could be tweaked?

Its a new page so iām sure they miss somethings but itās great to have nonetheless

this is because eos only offers a basic version of plasma. i installed the complete plasma package to get the full plasma experience. but no 5.27 yet
So what package to get complete plasma?
Edit: I might try it?

Edit: I have some of the packages already such as yakuake, kde-gtk-config, and i install plasma-wayland-session if i want Wayland but i am not sold on Wayland yet so i keep removing it. Iāll try it again.
is for integration on gtk desktop
