KDE Plasma Active 3 Improves Performance, Brings New Apps

Posted by samzenpus on from the frsh-off-the-line dept.

jrepin writes "KDE has released the 3rd stable version of Plasma Active, KDE's device-independent user experience. The Plasma Active user interface is touch-friendly and works well across a range of devices. Its Activities function gives users a natural way to organize and access their applications, files and information. Plasma Active Three noticeably improves the user experience with its enhanced and expanded set of apps, improved performance and a new virtual keyboard."

  1. xfce for a tablet? by brennanw · · Score: 3, Informative

    Do they even have xfce for a tablet? Plasma active is KDE's "touch screen" interface, which they say is for "everything" but is clearly targeted at tablets, since all their graphics show it being used on one.

    The standard desktop KDE has done nothing in the touchscreen area...
    Plasma active is another environment designed for touchscreen devices, while Plasma desktop sticks to the old desktop paradigm...
    Nothing to rant about

    at least iOS and OSX are kept separate.

    Just as KDE Plasma and KDE Plasma Active are kept separate.
    I agree the naming should be clearer, but Slashdot posters should also RTFS.
