Time for your weekly dose of Usability & Productivity! It’s another big one, and there’s a ton of stuff winding through the review pipeline that didn’t quite make the cut this week. So tune in next week too–but for the moment, check out all these neat improvements:

There’s now a new Plasmoid that provides easy access to the screen layout switcher, with a new “Presentation mode” toggle that prevents the screen or computer from going to sleep or turning off (Kai Uwe Broulik, KDE Plasma 5.14.0):



The logout screen now displays a a warning when other users are still logged in (Kai Uwe Broulik, KDE Plasma 5.14.0):



AppImage apps now get thumbnails (Kai Uwe Broulik, KDE Applications 18.12.0):
