  • Do you use a drawing tablet with Linux? You can share your device info in two easy steps - no coding skills required! 💙

    Jump

  • Yes, absolutely. Go for it, please.

  • Yes, but not very useful for our use case. We want to copy things super simple.

  • Lovely to hear. Thanks! We hope you enjoy it and please give us feedback so we can improve.

  • That is so kind. Danke!

  • KDE and its eco initiative will have a booth tomorrow at the Umweltfestival in Berlin. The event is free to attend, so come chat with us and let's talk about #endOf10

    Jump

  • Sorry. It shows up on Mastodon, but not here.

    Here you go:

  • The End (of Windows 10) is nigh! KDE and many other Free Software communities kick off "End of 10" campaign

    Jump

  • and Microsoft will patch it anyway

    ... Or not. That is the point of ending support: they are not obligated to anything like that.

  • You may be missing the point.

    The point is Microsoft wants to (again) force/trick/scam people into buying new hardware. Whether they are lying or not, whether there is a workaround or not, is not the point.

    The point is the #Endof10 campaign wants to help people exit this cycle of spending, polluting and tech blackmail Microsoft subjects its users to by offering them an out, helping them switch to Free Software systems. Things like Plasma on Linux are perfectly adequate nowadays for most people—and notice the "most", please: I know there will always be edge cases that can't migrate

    But, for most people, with a Linux system decked out with a modern desktop and applications? They will find all they need to carry on being productive on their current machines.

    Coming to #Akademy2025 in Berlin? Plan your trip & book your stay now! Here are some recommendations:

  • GCompris, KDE's collection of educational software activities, completes translations for Indonesian, Russian and Lithuanian, and improves stability, performance and looks across the board.

    Jump

  • And used to be based on GTK, hence the G-pun.

    So, how did Akademy really get its name? Let’s hear it from Volker Krause!

  • KDE itinerary

    Jump

  • Not really, no. I'll give you an example of how I use it: I have it manage all my travelling stuff/documents. So when you get your boarding pass for your flight, you scan in the barcode (or Itinerary just picks it up from the email as it is integrated with Kontact). Same goes for train tickets, hotel reservations, health certificates (remember COVID vaccination certificates?), etc.

    Instead of having a dozen different apps, when you get on trains, reach the airport, or need your health certificate scanned, you pull up Itinerary on your phone. You can group all your docs into one trip and Itinerary will have generated standardised QR codes for all the services. It will also show you plans of airports, stations etc.. Tell You which lifts are working, what eateries are open, and where the toilets are.

    There are new features being added all the time, as well as more travel companies. It is very practical.

  • KDE is finally getting a native virtual machine manager called "Karton"

    Jump

  • It is true we are always complaining how understaffed project X and app Y are, but we are not a company, but an association run by volunteers.

    In that context, if someone comes in and decides to work on a new project Z, there is no-one with the authority to tell them to go and work on X or Y instead.

    That is not how we solve understaffing in KDE. Instead we have to recruit people directly into the understaffed projects. We cannot take them away from whatever their pet projects are.

    Also, Karton, does not worsen the understaffing of Plasma in any way. On the contrary: we now have a new developer contributing to the overall KDE software stack that will possibly later tackle stuff in other areas of Plasma, as projects tend to overlap with each other.

  • Meet Ritchie Frodomar (scroll down), a legally blind developer who is in charge of bringing KDE's software up to shape on the accessibility front.

  • The tone is that of a... er... dude who has to moderate this and 4 other forums day in and day out, while few people bother to read the sidebar to learn what the rules are and then complain when their stuff gets erased 🤷 .
