It just happens that we got our hands on some of the features coming to the KDE Plasma 5.10 release, so we’d like to share them here with you. For starters, you should already know from our previous reports that Folder View will be the default desktop, featuring spring loading, a unified drop menu, and a revamped rename UI. The second awesome feature of the KDE Plasma 5.10 desktop environment will be support for installing applications as Snaps or Flatpaks via the Plasma Discover graphical package manager, which now supports GNOME’s ODRS (Open Desktop Ratings Service) for reviews and comments of apps.
