KDE Plasma 6.7 is shaping up to be another excellent release of the popular Linux desktop environment, with exciting new features rolling in.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)

KDE Plasma 6.6 has arrived with major upgrades.

I use the middle click paste all the time, and I would miss it. Since I use Plasma, I’m sure there would be a setting to turn it back on. Maybe there already is?
