Global Menu is one of the most interesting features of Kde Plasma 5.9, the latest major release of the Kde Desktop Environment.
Global Menus allow the user to have the application menu into the application itself, as a titlebar button or into a widget panel placed at the top of the screen.
Global Menu is a very exciting feature a user would like to try, but unfortunately, for some reasons, enabling it may be a bit complicated if you don't know where to search.

In the last two post I've talked about the new Kde Plasma 5. In particular I've posted some pictures about Plasma 5 on my Arch Linux workstation and, after a not too long testing period, I've also wrote a review about its current status.
Since some readers have asked to me how to install it on their Arch Linux workstations I'll going to write a small tutorial to explain how to do this.
A few weeks ago, during a little break from studies, I've finally found some time for installing Plasma 5 on my Arch Linux workstation. Before a not too deep period of usage I'd like to share with you my impressions on the current state of Plasma.
