(It's a pretty cool concept overall, but I think giving KDE Plasma for Linux newcomers isn't really the best idea, because the tons of customization options, and occasional bugs here and there might scare away some Windows users. I would rather give them Zorin OS with their customized version of GNOME, or Linux Mint / LMDE with Cinnamon. (No, I'm not a KDE hater, I think it's a great option for those who want to fully customize their desktop experience, or the PewDiePie type of guys who already adopted the mindset of tweaking around, playing around with the options, not wanting to go back to Windows when encountering a bug, but it's not for every newcomer.))

The Late Night Linux Family

The sad reality of the AI crawler bot arms race, the baddies seem to be obsessed with Xorg, but Wayland will soon be a reality for older smaller desktops (hopefully). Plus controlling a silly Red Dwarf thing, software releases with feature flags, a massive list of cheat sheets, another way to avoid the likes of Reddit, old skool CPU monitoring, and an update on Joe's KDE experiment.

!! VERY EARLY PREVIEW !!

KFediViewer (Preliminary name): An application for KDE Plasma, to view the personal data export of a Mastodon profile in a timeline-like manner.

Usefor if someone has exported the personal data as a .zip file from a Mastodon instance and want to view it locally.

Will be published sometimes 2025 on Codeberg under a free (FOSS) license 🙂

#Isä't hoi! #Isävitsi haussa. Pitäisi kääntää tämmöinen jono #KDEPlasma-työpöytäympäristöön:

”I never meta key I didn't like”

(Meta-näppäin on siis näppäin, jossa yleensä on Windows-logo, ja vitsi on, että ”met a” ja ”meta” ääntyvät samoin.) Kehittäjän kommentti: ”This is a terrible dad joke about the meta key on the keyboard being able to have many symbols. Translate it into one of similar groanworthiness if this is possible; if not, translate it as an empty string.” #l10n #kotoistaminen

KDE Plasma Bigscreen is a TV-friendly user interface for the open source desktop environment. It's been pretty stagnant for a while, but a dev recently spent a week bringing some new and improved features. Some features are still incomplete though. planet.kde.org/devin-lin-espid #KDE #KDEPlasma #PlasmaBigScreen #10FootUI

Planet KDE · Diving into Plasma BigscreenI have been a long time Plasma Mobile contributor, but I have always had a keen interest in having Linux on my TV! I have noticed that in the past few months, the Plasma Bigscreen project has had some interest from people wanting to contribute, but there have not been any active KDE developers working on the project. Since I have some time off school (having just graduated university), I decided to take a swing at improving the project for a week.
