Title says it really, I really want to have both the sleep and hibernate option added to this part of my setup, but how? I use the Application Dashboard for when I click the meta button.

Am on NixOS if that has anything to say in the matter.

I feel stupid for asking this. I always did fresh installs in the past but now I have an install that I've customized and use as a daily driver.

Will endeavor os automatically update to KDE 6 with the pacman -Syu command?

I'm getting a bug where left clicking a program open in the task manager triggers opening another instance of the same program instead of raising/focusing in the already opened window. This didn't happen using X11. It's not the behavior configured for the left click; a recently started session works fine. The only way for it to go away without restarting is entering Plasma's edit mode and exiting it - then task manager behaves ok for a while. How can I trace what causes this ? I tried checking journalctl for criticial errors or logs when I click and this behavior happens but couldn't find anything relevant

@linuxmagazine's 5000-word 8-page feature dives deep into why the version number jump (and why now), the current state of Plasma and KDE's ecosystem of apps and frameworks and what it has to offer, and the changes pushing KDE's software to new levels of efficiency, customization, and enhanced user experience.
