Nitrux 1.3.4 isn’t your regular monthly update, as the development team decided to jump ship and finally ditch the KDE Plasma 5.19 desktop environment series used in the last few releases for the latest and greatest KDE Plasma 5.20 series. The newest point release, KDE Plasma 5.20.2, is included in this release by default, and it’s been boosted with a new HUD functionality called plasma-hud, which lets users search through an application’s app menu, but only if the respective apps expose their menubar to the Global Menu plasmoid.
