From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

In KDE Plasma 6.6 Spectacle can read texts from screenshots, a new on-screen keybord is available for testing, a first-time wizzard was added, current theme can be saved as a new global theme, emoji selector got a new easier skin tone selection, you can now connect to a Wi-Fi network via a QR code, application sound volume can be changed by scrolling over a task bur button via mouse, and there is much more.

The volume slider with a scroll wheel over the taskbar icons is such a clever little addition. It makes so much sense. I can’t believe nobody else thought of this.

It's one of the things I've missed from windows for a long time.

I haven't updated to 6.6 yet, and I can definitely do that.

I'm on 6.5.5. Probably gonna update now

edit: nevermind, Just saw the video below. Def a new feature.

Wait, do other DEs not have this? I believe even Windows has this.

Are you thinking of the volume icon in the systray? For that, it's pretty standard that scrolling changes the volume, yeah. @muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works is talking about the volume of each individual application, though:

(I have hardly used Windows for the past decade, so no idea, if it has it.)

It has a functional version of the concept. At least
