It's super annoying that #macOS has much, much fewer customization options than #KDE Plasma. Even a simple option like enabling wrapping around the virtual desks ("spaces") is not available, and the only way to enable that is to pay for a third-party app.

CLI is a better world. I installed the latest version of #Bash via #Homebrew. Now I can use all my Bash scripts.

March #Tumbleweed #snapshots were packed with #opensource goodness! #GNOME 48, #KDE Plasma 6.3.3, #Mesa 25.0.1 & parallel #zypper downloads. Dive into the updates! #openSUSE #Linux https://news.opensuse.org/2025/04/01/tw-monthly-update-march/

Das PinePhone Pro ist ein reines Spielzeug, aber die entwickelte Software laeuft! Das Smartphone ist Meilenweit von einer taeglichen Benutzung entfernt, aber wenn die richtige Hardware und dazu die Treiber vohanden waeren, dann koennte das eine Alternative werden. Deshalb bin ich sehr erfreut und ueberrascht wie gut die Entwicklung voran schreitet. *weiter so* ich freu mich drauf.

Could anyone spare a "Like" for these kids who are trying to plant some seeds of Open Source in the USA Midwest?

Auch wieder das gelernt:
Es reicht in #kde einen Web-Link aus einem Text/E-Mail/... auf den Starter eines Browsers bspw. im Task-Plasmoid zu ziehen, um die Webseite in diesem Browser zu starten. Geil!

Looking for a distro I can install on my mother-in-law‘s laptop. So it has to be easy to use and needs a good App Store / flatpack integration. Thinking about Fedora with KDE or Kubuntu.

I had an issue with KDE Dolphin that it was not showing thumbnails of photos on an NFS share. Turns out it's a matter of changing one setting.

Sharing this in case someone has the same problem :)

Have I ever talked about how useful KDE Connect is?

• You can use your phone as a mouse touch pad input device.
• You can share files between phone and PC real easy.
• You can get phone notifications on PC.
• You can share clipboard contents between Phone and PC.

If you haven't already, we encourage you to try using #GNOME Software or #KDE Discover instead of the Solus Software Center for your package management needs. The more people that test them, the better we can make the experience!

Future ISOs will come with KDE Discover on Budgie, Plasma, and Xfce, and GNOME Software on GNOME.
