@winterschon I installed #KDE Neon on a #Thinkpad P14s and everything worked out of the box including WiFi, power management, the printer, and the fingerprint reader. Fantastic experience
#KDE will mentor ten projects in Google Summer of Code (#GSoC) this year, including two projects for #LabPlot, a FREE, open source and cross-platform #DataVisualization and #DataAnalysis software.
This is wonderful news but seeing the list of patrons, why does #Valve not join the sponsorship programme though? - I know (or I think at least) that they often/occasionally sponsor #KDE (as an org, or devs) to do some work for them, and I'm not denying that they contribute a lot through funds/code to #FOSS/#Linux, but seeing that the #SteamDeck comes shipped with #KDEPlasma (which I still think is a really smart decision) and since Plasma is a huge part of the Steam Deck (literally half of the software exp), it'd be great to see Valve commit to a recurring sponsorship programme to the KDE folks.
They certainly have the money for it, surely. I hope this will be true someday.
The cube is back!
The desktop cube, with which you could rotate the desktop as a cube. Now it’s back and can be activated in the desktop effects in the system settings.
Anyone from #fedora#atomic images are they all long term supported if not which one is considered LTS? I don't know much about Fedora or its ecosystem. Been mostly debian/ubuntu/arch linux over the decades.
Kate supports multi-cursor editing and custom hotkeys. Boost your productivity with the help of multi-cursor and multi-selection features. Kate now has it!
Switching from other proprietary text editors and missing your hotkey bindings that you are accustomed to? You can configure every hotkey in Kate so you do not have to change your workflow.
One of my daily-driven laptops is getting a new #Linux system installed. I'm not sure whether I should stay in my familiar, cosy vanilla @gnome world – including my personal customisations, or whether I should finally seriously consider running the equally interesting #KDE for a longer term.
(No, other desktop environments are not really an option at this point)
#Kdenlive 24.05 beta is ready for testing! Checkout new features like Group Effects and automatic subtitle translations. Other highlights include a huge performance boost to the spacer tool and improvements to multiple bins. Also, audio capture is back. 😉
Rebased to Aurora with #Plasma6 and #fedora40 , everything is great and snappy. But could the #BlueFin / #KDE experts tell me how to disable transparency in the #Ptyxis terminal? I use a custom color scheme for Ptyxis, but the bundled themes are transparent too. Can't find mention of transparency anywhere.
Looks very much like I'll be sticking to KDE from now on!
