The 6.7.6 patch release fixes a KWin crash with NVIDIA's 610.57.04+ driver and a crash when dragging widgets to a panel. Plasma 6.8 also fixes a crash tied to certain app closures, restores remote desktop authentication compatibility with FreeRDP 3.32+, and improves GPU memory usage accuracy in System Monitor. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Does KDE Plasma 6.8 fix the rounded corners issue on tiled windows? Yes, Plasma 6.8 gives tiled windows square corners instead of rounded ones so they fit together cleanly with adjacent tiled windows, similar to Windows' behavior. This resolves a regression reported in a 2024 bug report, since KDE Plasma previously disabled rounded corners for tiled windows before the behavior broke. _Track KDE Plasma release fixes like this on daily.dev before upgrading your tiling setup._ ### Does remote desktop authentication work with FreeRDP 3.32 in KDE Plasma? Yes, Plasma 6.8 includes a fix that restores remote desktop authentication compatibility with FreeRDP 3.32 and newer versions, after it had been broken in prior releases. This fix is part of the same update cycle as the tiled window corner fix and several crash fixes. _Developers relying on FreeRDP remote desktop can follow fixes like this on daily.dev._ ### What causes KWin to crash with recent NVIDIA drivers in KDE Plasma 6.7? KWin could crash when running the NVIDIA 610.57.04 graphics driver or newer, a bug fixed in the Plasma 6.7.6 patch release. The same patch also fixes a separate crash that occurred when dragging a widget onto a panel. _Keep up with driver-related crash fixes like this NVIDIA issue on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [KDE Plasma 6.6.5 Fixes Some NVIDIA Performance Issues, More Features Land For Plasma 6.7](https://daily.dev/posts/kde-plasma-6-6-5-fixes-some-nvidia-performance-issues-more-features-land-for-plasma-6-7-19o9ifcsg) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [KDE Plasma 6.7 released](https://daily.dev/posts/kde-plasma-6-7-released-1psklhgbz) · omg\! ubuntu\! · 13 upvotes · 1 comments - [KDE Plasma developers squeeze a few more features into 6.8 just weeks before release](https://daily.dev/posts/kde-plasma-developers-squeeze-a-few-more-features-into-6-8-just-weeks-before-release-lszencu1n) · XDA Developers · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#linux](https://daily.dev/tags/linux), [#nvidia](https://daily.dev/tags/nvidia) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/kde-plasma-6-8-now-makes-tiled-windows-fit-together-more-nicely-wwdtn9efw) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"KDE Plasma 6.8 Now Makes Tiled Windows Fit Together More Nicely","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/kde-plasma-6-8-now-makes-tiled-windows-fit-together-more-nicely-wwdtn9efw","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/kde-plasma-6-8-now-makes-tiled-windows-fit-together-more-nicely-wwdtn9efw"},"datePublished":"2026-10-03T10:13:50.429Z","dateModified":"2026-10-03T10:14:17.413Z","description":"KDE Plasma 6.8, releasing in just over a week, fixes tiled windows so they have square corners instead of rounded ones, allowing them to fit together cleanly...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/08006fe5f3c5d96b330a15c667bac0bd?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/08006fe5f3c5d96b330a15c667bac0bd?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Phoronix","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Phoronix","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/6a26ba379dd64932830aa0c9803dd7ee","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/phoronix"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/kde-plasma-6-8-now-makes-tiled-windows-fit-together-more-nicely-wwdtn9efw","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"linux,nvidia","timeRequired":"PT2M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Phoronix","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/phoronix"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"KDE Plasma 6.8 Now Makes Tiled Windows Fit Together More Nicely"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/kde-plasma-6-8-now-makes-tiled-windows-fit-together-more-nicely-wwdtn9efw#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Does KDE Plasma 6.8 fix the rounded corners issue on tiled windows?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes, Plasma 6.8 gives tiled windows square corners instead of rounded ones so they fit together cleanly with adjacent tiled windows, similar to Windows' behavior.
