KDE Ships First Beta of Next Generation Plasma Workspace 94
rohangarg (1966752) writes "KDE announced the beta of its next generation of its plasma workspace today. Built ontop of Qt5 and KDE Frameworks 5, with this transition, all QML-based UIs — which Plasma is built exclusively with — will make use of a new scenegraph and scripting engine, resulting in huge performance wins as well as architectural benefits, such as being able to render using available graphics hardware."
There are experimental packages for some distros, and a Live CD (ISO download) available if you want to try it out.
