KDE Introduces "Quick Settings" Page, Lands More Wayland Fixes

KDE developers are finishing the month of March strong with a number of new features and bug fixes for their open-source desktop stack.

Over the past week some of the KDE work has included:

- Kate and KWrite can now enjoy basic touchscreen scrolling support. These text editors will also warn you now if trying to run them with sudo/kdesu.

- The KDE Plasma Applets configuration windows have received an overhaul.

- A new "Quick Settings" page for KDE System Settings page that is the initial screen when launching the settings and contains some of the most-used settings within easy reach.

- Faster speed and performance when taking HiDPI screenshots within Spectacle.

- A variety of KDE Plasma Wayland session fixes from rash fixes to other bugs being addressed.
