You can now place files in ~/Templates and they will appear as templates in the “Create New…” menu that appears in various places [...]

That's absolutely great! Last time I tried to put something to show up in those menus was a tricky process (and a bit frustrating, too, as I remembered at that time with Windows 98/XP it was easier than that) and in the next minor Plasma update they were gone, so never bothered again. It's like at least 10 years too late, but thankfully they remembered about that.

Pretty sure that's the kind of updates people would like to see more often

Never heard about °R and °RA before this meme

I installed Fedora on a 2015 MacBook pro. It works well, though the camera doesn't work and bt is bonky, to say the least - but I couldn't care less about that.

Of course it's a good thing, but it's not something Gentoo is particuarly goot at it (nor any distro, that is) but its detractors claim Gentoo says is "lean on resources" only to "debunk" that.

And the myth that is "supercomplicated", but in the end the only "difficult" part is to install it - in the daily, pedestrian usage it's pretty much like any other (rolling release) distro. Well, of course except package installation/update times, but it's beyond to me why people created that false urgency of needing to have everything installed and updated the second you issued the command. It's not like you won't be able to use your computer at all while Portage does its thing.

Apparently you can use the USE FLAGS to determine what stuff you want and it's meant to be even more lean on resources.

True and false; the "something special" in Gentoo is that you can tailor it to fit to your needs, and as far as I know no other distro comes even close - maybe the now almost defuct Funtoo. The "it's more lean on resources" always seemed to me like a strawman people don't like it came up with to diss on Gentoo.

No need to thank me, I'd like to contribute by coding but I have no idea about Java/Kotlin/Dart/etc so... I hope you keep with it though - I'd try it again in the future to see how it's going and hopefully move to Ion. Again, the fact it its FOSS it's a big plus.

Not a fan of semi-serif fonts, and not digging the rounded "corners" on E and L (while having sharp ones in lowercase L and lowercase i), but it seems it is trying to be highly readable so indeed it should be great for UI stuff. And doing a complete typeface covering such huge character map is no easy job.

I mean, iOS is not doing better in that sense. They both are already mature systems and I think it would be great if they concentrate in polishing and perfecting what they already have (and hope AOSP doesn't fall into the AI crap) but I guess that's just me.

It depends on who you ask. If you ask this to a M$ refugee, they will praise it. If you ask a *BSD user, they will bitch about it.

Kinda like it, and mostly because it's FOSS, but will keep using "Home Launcher" (app.homelauncher, 28.0.28):

  • Allows to tie gestures to certain actions, though it still can't bind double tap on an empty area of the screen to turn it off. I wish either one had this option
  • Won't distort the icons in any way besides their sizing, as Ion Launcher does
  • Lets to set another icon for any app
  • Can hide apps from the drawer

The miraculous solution to this bug so we can use a different wallpaper on each virtual desktop, like in the ol' KDE4.x days

Great, now the next time I use nano I surely will forget about this and get frustrated when trying to save a file with Ctrl+O

 

Sony Xperia smartphones look so good on paper. So why is it that we don't recommend them? Here's our answer to that and a brief 2023 review of the Sony Xperia 1 IV.

 

Calligra is the office and graphics suite developed by KDE and is the successor to KOffice. With some traditional parts like Kexi and Plan having an independent release schedule, this release only contains the four following components: Calligra Words: Word Processor Calligra Sheets: Spreadsheet Application Calligra Stage: Presentation Application Karbon: Vector Graphics Editor The most significant updates are that Calligra has been fully transitioned to Qt6 and KF6, along with a major overhaul of its user interface.
