Heya. 

First of all great job in Plasma 6

I have some wishes that i've though about when i was testing Fedora KDE on my main system.

System info:
System Manufacturer: ASRock
System Model: X670E Taichi
BIOS: 2.10 (type: UEFI)
Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 8-Core Processor            (16 CPUs), ~4.2GHz
Memory: 65536MB RAM
Display Device: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX
SSD: Samsung SSD 960 EVO 1TB
Monitor BenQ BL3200PT (1440P 60hz)


With that out of the way:

1: Cursors
I don't know if part of linux in general. But i've always found the cursors to be of low resolution, it is especially noticeable when using the dark mode Breeze with the black cursor with white outer lining. Its like its pixelated and have often gone to the Breeze Light version of the mouse or installed a different cursor which makes it less visible. Never really noticed it on windows unless i ran it a low resolution, but i'm running at 1440P and still notice it.

When we at cursors unsure if its due to wayland and X11. But from time to time in different applications does the cursor not keeps it appearance. Like in Steam, it will default to a black cursor and go back again when moving outside the window.

2: System Monitor
It does its job, but i feel like it could use a more modern design. Something akin to Resources from flathub. Its sleek, simple with good graphical display

3: Graphic Card Information
Nothing really wrong with the text window for easy copy paste, but could be nice to have a GUI version where thing is listed a little more easy viewable way like what GPU-viewer does
https://flathub.org/apps/io.github.arunsivaramanneo.GPUViewer

4: Disable devices
This is mostly related to graphic card. But i've had an issue with running my R7 7800X3D and my 7900XTX. That it somehow defaults to my 7800X3D built-in GPU and only and easiest way to fix it as to go into my bios and disable it, which i find a little annoying if one day i have to debug my system without a dedicated graphic card and i have to reset cmos in order to use the built-in GPU again. Could be nice to have something like Device Manager like windows have where i can simply disable it by a GUI

5: Programs installed and to uninstall
Neither flatpaks software nor Discover or App launcher do i find does a good job when you have to uninstall stuff. I would love if when you go into Discovers Installed apps that it would give me and option to list view it with much smaller bars. Scrolling though that list seems bulky and clumsy. Something that looks like what Windows 10 and past windows had with Program and Features would make it much easier to get a better overview of what i have.

6: KDE Plasma Panel
I would to see a setting where i can self adjust the opacity. As it is now i can only slightly see the difference between translucent and opaque. Another thing would be nice too is being able to set color of the panels

7: Right Click App laucher
A feature i loved about Windows is the ability to right click the Start button and get a quick menu of administrative settings. Like Device managed, Computer Management, Disk Management, Terminal ect. Could be neat to have that

Thanks for reporting these feature requests! Bundling separate issues and requests into a single report makes it hard to track and act on them.  See https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Issue_Reporting#Multiple_issues_in_a_single_Bugzilla_ticket for more explanation. Could I ask you to report each request individually?

For 1, support for using vector-based cursors and matching default cursors was merged recently and should be in Plasma 6.2, see https://invent.kde.org/plasma/breeze/-/merge_requests/475
