KDE Plasma 5.16 Desktop Environment Gets First Point Release, Update Now 

 

The KDE Project released today the first maintenance update to the recently released KDE Plasma 5.16 desktop environment for Linux-based operating systems.

KDE Plasma 5.16.1 is now available only one week after the release of the KDE Plasma 5.16 desktop environment series, a major version that adds numerous new features and improvements, including a totally revamped notifications system, new look and feel for the login, lock, and logout screens, better Wayland support, as well as numerous other desktop enhancements.

Consisting of a total of 21 bug fixes, the KDE Plasma 5.16.1 maintenance update is here to make the KDE Plasma 5.16 desktop environment more stable and reliable by addressing various issues reported by users lately, including an issue that broke the Sleep/Suspend command, and the ability for the Plasma Discover package manager to show when Flatpak updates are fetched.

"Today KDE releases a bugfix update to KDE Plasma 5, versioned 5.16.1. Plasma 5.16 was released in June with many feature refinements and new modules to complete the desktop experience. This release adds a week's worth of new translations and fixes from KDE's contributors. The bug fixes are typically small but important," reads the release announcement.Coming soon to a GNU/Linux distro near youKDE Plasma 5.16.1 also improves the notification identification for Flatpak apps, adds the ability for the Powerdevil power management daemon to ignore power management inhibition during critical timeout of the battery, updates the default path of the Samba log in Info Center, and improves the Breeze theme.

All Linux  distros updated the linux kernel  also it  effected  all open bsd distros they updated there as well, I use Ubuntu and the update was out on  live update as soon as it made the news Monday . As I posted in the topic i started,  its not windows we did not have to wait 3 months  for a update because it not rated urgent and by the time they update it it's being exploited in the wild. They still  all kinds of IOT devices  that use Linux  that could  be hacked not patched , your refrigerator may crash or you car may stop running if they exploit  it. Because Linux is in about everything nowadays.
