#Linux #Desktop #HotTake:

#KDE #Plasma will become usable and enjoyable-to-use to absolute noobs long before Gnome becomes usable and enjoyable to power users.

For the former, the only thing in the way is time and effort (and priorities, which seem to be set well right now). For the latter, the culture in the Gnome community has to radically change.

Come at me, bro. ;)

(I love you, too!)

Am 14. Oktober 2025 wird der normale Support für #windows10 eingestellt, und Microsoft begegnet dem mit Werbung, in der zu einem Neukauf aufgerufen wird.

Dabei sind die meisten #laptops und #desktop #computer absolut ausreichend für alles, was Ihr damit machen wollt.

Die alternative? #linux installieren (lassen). Auf endof10.org könnt ihr euch auch helfen lassen - findet #repaircafes in eurer Nähe.

Schnell, sicher, keine Werbung, kein Ausspionieren, keine aufgezwungene #KI #AI, kein aufgezwungenes Online-Konto.

Ach, und billiger ist es natürlich auch.

Longtime Verge readers might recall the unusual story of how the music video for a Janet Jackson song, “Rhythm Nation,” could cause certain #Windows #laptops to crash just by being around when it’s playing

Is there an opensource email desktop client that is:
✔️ headquaters and main maintainers are in EU, UK, Canada, Australia and other places where democracy still present?
✔️ supports openpgp (at least signing and signatures verification)
✔️ integrates well with Gnome
✔️ can connect to Gmail (mostly to keep locally emails archive after creating a new email address to be used instead and during a transition period).

The KDE team has created a wonderful Network for your Androids it's called Konnect (actually KDE Connect) and the things that it can do are so various that I'll just show you one of them in the included photographs

The ease with which I can control a music 🎵 player that works on one Android from all my devices which run Konnect opens up possibilities which are just marvelous for a sound engineer like me

I think I have finally configured my FreeBSD PC into a fully functional desktop. I have KDE desktop environment installed , I got Spotify-Qt working, I installed Linux Brave Browser to be able watch Netflix and play music on Tidal. I have OBS and its virtual camera working. I got discord working. I have got my firewall configured and running. Not sure what to do next.

Ideas please. Thanks.

It makes me sad that #KDE back in the day went with Windows-style app shortcuts (.kdelnk and .desktop files) instead of NeXTSTEP/macOS-style app bundles.

The latter are inherently portable, self-describing, potentially self-contained, and trivial to install or remove. In short: better in pretty much every way.

And because KDE set the precedent, all other #Linux #desktop environments (except #GNUstep) have followed suit. 😔
