KDE Plasma 5.27 LTS
KDE Plasma 5.27 is the last 5. x series release before KDE 6 arrives.
So, with the latest KDE Plasma desktop onboard, you can expect all the improvements on the table. Things like enhanced multi-monitor support, a new welcome screen, and other user interface refinements.
Flatpak Support Removed
Kubuntu included Flatpak by default. However, with the recent Canonical decision to drop Flatpak support by default for all Ubuntu flavors, Kubuntu 23.04 is no exception.
Discover Enhancements
As part of KDE Plasma 5.27, Discover has received a significant overhaul for how it lists apps and programs. The Discover store looks more alive and valuable with the editor’s choice and popular options.
Other Refinements
You will find a new Linux Kernel 6.2, features, and other subtle changes. The highlights worth mentioning include the following:
- Pipewire as the default audio server
- LibreOffice 7.5
- Firefox 111 snap
- Qt 5.15.8
