#284 What’s New in Fedora KDE 40
Closed: published a year ago by rlengland. Opened a year ago by rlengland.

Article Summary: Writing about what’s new in Fedora KDE 40 in the same vein as the What’s New in Fedora Workstation

Article Description: Article will be mostly focused on Plasma 6 because that’s a huge change for the spin. After that we’ll talk about anything that is specific to Fedora KDE rather than KDE Plasma in general, and then some Fedora-wide changes to the desktop experience.

Draft to the post can be found here. @ngompa and the KDE SIG have already reviewed this, but open to more feedback and corrections of course.

I added the feature image into the article, but I saw the note about image dimensions in the other ticket so I'll take a look to change that if it looks wrong.

Please let me know if the featured image is ok, I added it in the right spot and I think the text fits in the margins.

The positioning of the desktop image is weird, as I think people would naturally expect a Kinoite image under the Kinoite header. I would suggest moving the image above the Kinoite section.

Placement is correct. I've done a few word-smith changes but nothing major.

I'm not certain about the ngompa comment regarding the desktop image. I'm not close enough to KDE/Kinoite to understand.

Otherwise I think this article is ready to be published on 23 April 1400UTC

The image is of Fedora KDE as opposed to Fedora Kinoite, you can tell from the little details in the image. :wink:

The image itself is fine, it's just in the wrong position in the article.

@ngompa I've moved the image up. How's that?

Yeah, the dimensions need to be changed to 1890x800 for the cover image. Thanks.

@glb

we’re the first Fedora desktop variant to ship Wayland-only

This should change to "we’re the first Fedora desktop variant to ship Wayland-only (not to worry, we retain full support for X11 applications!)"

Just to keep the freakout at the minimum.

Done. Thanks. 🙂

I'm struggling big time with getting the feature image right and I don't think I'm going to be able to figure this out in time. Can we just slap "What's New in Fedora KDE 40?" in front of the Fedora 40 wallpaper and call it a day? It's not like what I was trying to do is any fancier.

Here's a link to the day time wallpaper: https://github.com/fedoradesign/backgrounds/blob/main/default/f40-01-day.png

@joseph I'll put something together with that.

@joseph See what how you feel about the image now?
