Description Serena Star 2025-03-17 14:40:31 UTC

SUMMARY
I am requesting that Legacy Kickoff, which was turned into an optional launcher on the KDE Store, be ported to Plasma 6.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I find that Legacy Kickoff works best for my workflow and effectively makes use of my screen space. I prefer it over the current iteration of Kickoff and wish for it to be ported to Plasma 6, even if it is an optional KDE Store addon.
The Plasma 5 addon seems to have been put on the KDE Store by Mikel Johnson who seems to be an active contributor to KDE.

Anyone with the ability and interest in doing this is welcome to do so. However there aren't resources and interest in this in KDE, sorry.

Unfortunately Mikel hasn't been active in a few years.
