Yeah, most newcomers don’t even know about the spins and labs since they are quite hidden. So this is a great thing for getting Fedora KDE Spin on an equal footing in visibility and promotion.

KDE Plasma on all my computers and also as desktop mode on Steam Deck. because it supports the latest technologies especially when it comes to graphics (HDR, VRR) also has best support for Wayland and multi-monitors. It looks great out of the box and it has a lot of features out of the box and I do not need to battle with adding some extensions that break with almost every update. KDE Plasma is also the most flexible desktop and I can set the workflow really to fit my desires and I can actually set many options and settings. And despite all these built-in features and configurability it still uses very few system resources and is very fast and smooth. Oh and the KDE community is one of the most welcoming I have met in FOSS world, and they listen to their users instead of the our way or the high way mentality I have so often encountered in GNOME for example. So yeah TLDR KDE Plasma is the one I like the most of all in the industry, even when compared to proprietary closed alternatives.

It’s way past time that UN bans Israel from their institutions and puts heavy sanctions on them for their genocide and other crimes against humanity.

To early to tell, we will have to wait for it to be released and benchmarked by Phoronix. But judging based on previous Zen5 CPUs and becnhmarks on GNU/Linux it should be very good. But let’s wait and see and also it will depend on how much it will cost and how much each one is willing to spend.

Better to use Kubuntu edition, much better desktop and less crap that is nowdays in Ubuntu.

Already reported on bugs.kde.org.

Oh how I wish those TV manufacturers would get rid of HDMI and replace it with DisplyPort. HDMI mafia does not allow opensource implementations of HDMI specification and so not all latest features of it can be supported by graphics card drivers on GNU/Linux. Death to HDMI!

GNU/Linux only, with KDE Plasma for desktop as possible. Using it on work laptop (Kubuntu), home laptop (openSUSE Tumbleweed), PC (openSUSE Tumbleweed, also used for gaming), Steam Deck (Arch-based SteamOS). I don’t use spyware/adware so Windows is out of question for me. Also it is not free as in freedom and opensource.

Yup I agree, openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma desktop is just awesome. my favourite distro at this moment,

I’m using KMail (part of Kontact PIM suite)

Depends on the specific distro and their upgrades policies.

Usually with normal distributions you get an update to a new major version (e.g. from Plasma 6.0 to Plasma 6.1, or some versions can be skipped) when a new version of the distribution gets released, and in the mean time you only get bug fix releases (e.g. 6.0.x to 6.0.y). Sometimes some distributions also make special backports available to bring new major versions to same distro version.

With rolling release distributions (e.g. openSUSE Tumbleweed) you get new major releases in a few days after they are released.

So you need to check with Nobara how they handle this.

One way of greatly improving ROCm installation process would be to use the Open Build Service which allows to use the single spec file to produce packages for many supported GNU/Linux distributions and versions of them. I opened a feature request about this.

Most of them are C++/Qt there is also a lot of QtQuick/QML code which can do a lot and is very similar to ECMAScript, so maybe that would be a great start for someone coming from webdev.

My friend has one (if I remember it it a Slimbook or Tuxedo laptop) and as far as he told me it is flawless (well almost). My next laptop will for sure be a KDE CPU+GPU one. I hear good things about the combo and if it is any similar to desktop AMD GPU support I will be happy.

No wonder. all GAFAM is a spyware surveillance capitalism mafia and they work together. If you really want to THINK different you need to look into libre and opensource software like GNU/Linux and the likes.

They should ditch them for so many other reasons too. Also Public Money, Public Code. Al public institutions should only use libre and opensurce software. The only way to preserve privacy, freedom, and digital sovereignty.

Yeah, fines should be much much higher and yeah if you do not pay ban. And they should use the money from the fines to invest into developing libre and opensource software and hardware.

You can also watch it on official KDE Peertube server, also with fully respecting privacy https://tube.kockatoo.org/w/e6e8f177-22f1-432a-9c7f-ab76b17a5b54

So not even with setting the Width option to Fill Width and Style with disabled Floating option? (see this picture for refeence)

Yeah I hear good things about qemu. Will really have to reserve some time to learn it some day. And just for kicks I have just tried and installed KDE Neon into VirtualBox too, and damn I am actually surprised how fast Plasma runs under it, definitely faster than Plasma 5 did. Another job well done :)
