KDE Announces Plasma 5.12 LTS Beta

KDE Plasma 5.12 LTS Beta is the second long-term support release of the Plasma team 5. The boot time to the desktop has been fixed by reviewing the code for anything that precludes execution. The Plasma team has been doing triaging and fixing bugs in every aspect of the codebase, smoothing the artwork, removing the corner cases and ensuring cross-desktop integration.

For the first time KDE Plasma offers Wayland integration in long-term support so users can be sure that they (the Plasma Team) will continue to fix bugs during future releases. As published on the KDE page, Monday (15/1/2018).

With the increase in the ability of the boot system and the addition of Wayland will certainly be more pampering users. KDE in recent time has become an option for many users for the desktop.
