Plasma 6.1 is here!

New features include a cool take on Plasma's edit mode, keyboard LEDs that sync with accent colors, an inbuilt Remote Desktop Server that let's you access Plasma desktops over a network, lots of bug corrections and improvements.

Plasma 6.1 on Wayland now has a feature that "remembers" what you were doing in your last session like it did under X11. Although this is still work in progress, If you log off and shut down your computer with a dozen open windows, Plasma will now open them for you the next time you power up your desktop, making it faster and easier to get back to what you were doing.

Maybe I'm just a boomer but this feature is so incredibly annoying to me and is one of the first things I disable on new installs

Alternate perspective: I use the heck out of session restore, and it has driven me nuts that it hasn't worked properly under Wayland.

I tend to use different virtual desktops for different projects, so being able to reboot (because of a kernel update and needing to load a module or something) without losing and having to rebuild that state is is super valuable.
