Released more than one and a half years ago, the KDE Plasma 5.12 series is currently the latest LTS (Long Term Support) version of the acclaimed desktop environment for Linux-based operating systems. KDE Plasma 5.12.9 LTS is here six months after the KDE Plasma 5.12.8 LTS release as yet another maintenance update that addresses a total of 24 issues and updates translations. Noteworthy changes in the KDE Plasma 5.12.9 LTS update include the ability for the Trashcan applet to use the same shadow settings as the desktop icons, improved crispness of labels in the Folder View, properly translated media controls in the lock screen, improved dictionary runner to find definitions, and support for properly restoring the current desktop from session.
