   THAT'S what piques your interest about a new release, omgubuntu?

   a few #KDE Plasma 5.16 feature highlights:

   - a new DND mode
   - rich notifications for downloads & file transfers
   - OTP for VPNs
   - overhauled lock screen
   - new "mic" tray icon for when an app is recording via mic.

   "Confession: I haven’t been keeping a[n] eye on KDE Plasma development this year — but when I heard they had unveiled a new wallpaper, my interest piqued"

      while, yes, a good wallpaper can make for a happier initial user experience -- you don't see Apple at WWDC talking about the new sexy wallpapers for OSX.

      It's about quality of life improvements. things ike DND modes, interactive notifications, and improved UX.

      to say daily driver users don't care or wouldn't notice that stuff is hogwash.
