My son impressed his friends with wobbly windows the other day. Got to introduce him to the cube.
Not related, but why do most of the comments here have several user accounts tagged/linked?

A fancy new overview!
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Can I use my Gmail account in Kmail now?
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Apparently, the answer is “No, I can’t use Gmail with Kmail in Plasma 6”.
Booted the current Fedora 40 nightly KDE ISO. Using “Online Accounts” did not set up my Gmail account in Kmail. Kmail found the account in Mozilla’s database when I tried to create it directly in Kmail. I was led through a dialog that ended with a display of server info with a “Previous” and a “Quit” button. The account was not created. #KDE #Plasma6
@Corb_The_Lesser @kde @kde@lemmy.kde.social yeah the new wizard had to be completely rewritten for Qt6 and still requires a bit of work and testing with various email providers. 😔
@Corb_The_Lesser Too bad. It looks pretty.
I thought it was working years ago via IMAP. Is that not working now or do you mean using another method?
Google eliminated IMAP years ago in favor of OAuth and their API. Thunderbird kept up, I think. KMail didn’t
Im using my gmail account in kmail literally right now, what do you mean?
Teach me your ways, senpai. I’ve tried and couldn’t get it to work.
@TheFinn@discuss.tchncs.Gmail may have worked with Kmail occasionally in the past. I think sometimes that involved going back to your Google account and telling it to accept an “unsecure” app. To be honest, I wouldn’t do that for an email app.
Elementary has the same problem with its mail app.
Elementary has the same problem with its mail app.
Because the problem is Google not wanting third party apps accessing their service.
Edit: In other news, I just tried it and GMail works just fine with KMail. Setting up is a three step process and automatic most of the way.
@Bro666 I tried it on Fedora 40 with Plasma 6. Don’t know if it’s broken there or not. In any case, the account wizard repeatedly showed me a screen with only a back and quit button when the account hadn’t yet been created.
Also kept telling me I had set up 2 accounts and asking if I’d like to unify them.
Haven’t heard this one before, but it sounds like a trip to https://bugs.kde.org to me. Check if it hasn’t been reported. Maybe also check on Fedora, as it may be something going on there.
Thanks for your help!
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social oh that is HELLA fancy

Crazy how Fedora will get such a stable Plasma 6 when 40 comes out, nearly 2 months left.
I tested Plasma 6 on rawhide, reported a bunch of bugs and in the end everything was fixed.
@kde @kde@lemmy.kde.social The cube! 🧊😄👏
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Sheen, this is the 7th week in a row you’ve reintroduced the desktop cube in class
Isn’t the desktop cube from KDE3? Something like 10 years ago?
@parens It’s been dropped and readded a couple of times during the late versions in the kde5 series due to wayland-related refactors. Or maybe just once and I’m mixing it up with wobbly windows.
Maybe wobbly windows 🤔 But I haven’t been up to date on windows effects ever since the cube disappeared.

Fedora 40 also has it
@const_void tested fedora rawhide in a virtual machine few weeks ago with plasma 6, run well enough
@zestygrass @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I’m waiting for it on my endeavouros install
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social can’t wait to try it on arch!
If you’re willing to try the kde-unstable repo until its out, you can try it today. A few things are broken but they’re not showstoppers and mostly graphical (i also havent been able to use my computer today so i dont know if a lot of it got fixed with today’s release.)
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Congrats on the release, great to see KDE going from strength to strength. I like the subtle changes to the breeze theme.
This makes me reminisce about Sabayon Linux.
Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time. A long time.
Let’s gooo! Can’t wait to install it
Compiz and Beryl live on in spirit.
