KDE Plasma 5.18.6 LTS is here almost five months after the KDE Plasma 5.18.5 update and brings a total of 36 changes that add various improvements to some of the core components and apps of the desktop environment in an attempt to keep the Plasma 5.18 LTS series stable, secure and reliable. Highlights of this release include improved Plasma Networks system tray icon to no longer appear blank when WireGuard VPN connections are active, improved notification pop-ups to be fully visible on the lock screen on Wayland, and changed the Ctrl+D keyboard shortcut to no longer move selected desktop items to the trash.
