KDE Plasma 6.8 Development Update: Bi-Directional RDP Clipboard Sync and Discover Fixes
KDE's Plasma team confirmed that Plasma 6.8 will ship later this year with fully bi-directional remote desktop clipboard syncing, finally letting users copy-paste freely between host and client machines. The August 15 development update also introduces kscreenctl for custom display modelines, inline event descriptions on the digital clock, and precise scroll-speed spinboxes in mouse and touchpad settings. Beyond the interface tweaks, the cycle focuses heavily on stability for immutable Linux distributions like Fedora Kinoite, alongside performance gains for large PNG pasting, Spectacle captures, and Baloo file indexing. All listed features are currently in testing and subject to change before the official 6.8 release, though corresponding Frameworks 6.30 patches are already landing for immediate distribution.
