Highlights of the KDE Plasma 5.22 release include the implementation of the new Plasma System Monitor app, introduced in the KDE Plasma 5.21 release, as the default system monitoring app, and a replacement for the KDE System Guard, also known as KSysGuard, application. Another major change in this release is the new adaptive panel transparency feature that promises to help you make both the panel and the panel widgets more transparent. In addition, KDE Plasma 5.22 has great overall Wayland support, especially for activities and support for searching through menu items from the Global Menu applet.
