KDE Plasma 5.20 Desktop Enters Beta, Final Release Expected on October 13

After several months of development, during which the KDE development team managed to add numerous new features and improvements, the forthcoming KDE Plasma 5.20 desktop environment is now available for public beta testing if you’re a bleeding-edge user wanting to get an early taste of the changes. KDE Plasma 5.20 is packed with countless of enhancements. But that’s just a part of the changes that landed in this version, which looks to be a massive release (probably the biggest so far). There are improvements everywhere, starting with a new look and feel consisting of an icon-only Task Manager that comes with lots of changes, a slightly thicker default panel, redesigned OSDs for brightness and volume, improvements to the Digital Clock applet, and a new default shortcut for moving and resizing windows (Meta+drag).
