Summary

Plasma 6.7 won’t ask to clear starred clipboard items; starred clips stay until you remove them.
This Week in Plasma previews upcoming fixes across 6.6.6-6.8; worth a full read.
Other fixes include less visual jank in Discover’s progress bar and a fix for the favorite-app reinstall bug.

One of the biggest benefits of using Linux is that it’s a very much an operating system that gets out of your way. As such, when something on Linux doesn’t respect people’s choices and keeps bothering them, the developers are sure to know about it. And as much as I love KDE Plasma, there is one thing that irks me when managing the clipboard: the constant asking if I want to clear starred items.

Fortunately, that annoying quirk will soon be fixed. The KDE community has released its new edition of This Week in Plasma, and with it comes confirmation that Plasma will finally realise that, when you star something on your clipboard to save for later, it’s probably not a good idea to ask if it should be cleared all the time.
