There is also new functionality allowing applications to remember their window size, maximization state, and screen position on the Plasma X11 session.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>On top of that, it implements some security hardening that allows KAuth to use file descriptors instead of file paths, along with support for this on the Login Screen page in System Settings, improves the \u201cClick in track to scroll by one page at a time\u201d feature, and improves support for immutable distros like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/9to5linux.com\/fedora-linux-40-officially-released-with-linux-kernel-6-8-heres-whats-new\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fedora Kinoite<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple bugs have been addressed in the new KDE Frameworks release, including a Plasma crash that occurred when trying to re-assign a shortcut for a widget to one that\u2019s already used by something else.
