KDE Plasma 6.5 Welcomes Users with KISS Setup Wizard

- September 03, 2025

KDE Plasma 6.5 Welcomes Users with KISS Setup Wizard Table of contents:- A New First Impression for Plasma What KISS Brings to the Table Part of a Bigger Plasma 6.5 Story Conclusion A New First Impression for Plasma The KDE Project is set to enhance the out-of-the-box experience in its upcoming Plasma 6.5 desktop environment with the debut of the KDE Initial System Setup wizard, affectionately abbreviated as KISS . This new tool is designed to guide users through essential first-run configurations, particularly in scenarios where the operating system has been pre-installed by an OEM or another party, and no user accounts yet exist. Historically, Plasma has relied on its Welcome Centre to greet users after their first login, but the creation of the very account used to log in was left to the system installer. KISS bridges this gap, ensuring that even if the OS was installed by a vendor or previous owner, the new user can easily configure their environment without diving into technic...

Br OS 13 Dira: Polished Interface, Legacy Features Restored

- September 01, 2025

Br OS 13 Dira: Polished Interface, Legacy Features Restored Table of contents:- Visual Refinement System Automation and Driver Management Under the Hood Upgrades Returning Cherished Features Conclusion Br OS has steadily carved out a reputation for delivering a user-friendly, Debian-based desktop experience tailored to both newcomers and seasoned Linux users. On 26 August 2025, the Br OS team unveiled version 13.0 , codenamed Dira , barely a month after the 12.11 point release. That swift cadence reflects a dual-track development strategy: first stabilising the transition from the Debian Edition variant into the core Br OS product, then focusing on feature innovation and refinement for the flagship release. Version 12.11 served primarily to validate the new development pipeline, ensuring that the major merge of Br OS Debian Edition components into the mainline distribution did not disrupt existing workflows. With that foundation firmly in place, months of Dira development could proc...
