KDE Plasma 6.8 desktop environment was officially released today, marking the project's 30th anniversary. This release introduces triple buffering enabled by default for NVIDIA GPUs, aiming to enhance display performance and reduce tearing. A new Wayland-only session is also available, providing users with a pure Wayland experience without X.Org dependencies. Other notable additions include Kup, a new tool simplifying automated backups to external media. Spectacle, the integrated screenshot and screen capture utility, now supports recording system audio and microphone input alongside screen contents. Furthermore, the Steam desktop client now renders shadows and rounded corners, improving visual consistency within the Plasma desktop.
