The most prominent new features included so far in Plasma 5.20 include a new icon-only task manager as default Plasma layout that’s more modern and touch-friendly, middle-click paste support on Wayland, re-written System Settings Users page, as well as the ability to unplug screens on Wayland. The Free Space notifier makes a comeback in Plasma 5.20 as a critical notification and supporting monitoring of the root file system. Moreover, it’s now possible to adjust the balance of individual elements of your speakers and perform more private searches using KRunner’s web shortcuts.
