Apple had to learn the hard way: Under the DMA (thanks @EUCommission !) they were forced to give users a choice regarding the default search engine and browser on their systems.
What are we going to do about Microsoft misleading users?
Season of KDE (SoK) participants have improved translations, Kdenlive, LabPlot and more.
SoK is KDE's mentorship program that helps members of the public become active open source contributors.
This year, participants have translated apps into more languages, implemented multi-format rendering and keyframe curve editing in @kdenlive , ported @be4foss testing tools to Windows, added options for importing and exporting data to @LabPlot and much, much more.
MBition, the company that designs and implements infotainment systems for Mercedes-Benz, has become a KDE patron.
MBition uses KDE technologies and developers' know-how to create attractive and responsive interfaces that make Mercedes vehicles easier to drive and safer for their occupants.
After a few months of using @archlinux with the @kde desktop I have moved back to @fedora don't get me wrong I love love Arch btw, but Fedora has won my heart over. It just works... Well besides the dual screen thing but that is a wayland issue. I guess I use X11 till that issue is resolved.
@Vilian Yeah, like 2 screens. I could never get it to work with Wayland. My 2nd monitor is just a blank white screen or half of the monitor is showing with a white bottom. It's a known issue with wayland and nvidia, which should be fixed soon with the patches nvidia is getting.
KDE will mentor ten projects in Google Summer of Code (GSoC) this year. Congrats to everyone who got selected!
This year's wide range of projects includes Python support for the KDE Frameworks and Labplot, PDF Javascript forms support in Okular, more powerful subtitles in Kdenlive, and much more.
Installed KDE Neon today but the whole tray area popup is not working?
Updated everything using pkcon update. After installing everything works fine it just that there's nothing when you try to open things like wife selector or power management features.
Yeah, been driving KDE Neon for a month or so now and on first install it was a mess without several update and reboot cycles. Really stable since but day one was really rough.

@kdenlive@kde Um? What? This really sucks. (and yes I just uninstalled kdenlive on my machine as with much kde/qt stuff it was ending up breaking other updates).
@kde@kde My Debian Stable system was not on a version involved. My Manjaro was patched the very next day. My source based installs pulled from the git source, which was never involved. My Devuan is okay, and also does not run sshd. No problems here...
@kde Classic Task Manager: auto-hiding pins when app is running.
Is there a way in Classic TaskManager to not display the pins when the corresponding app is running?
Currently if I, e.g., pin Firefox and then click on it to run it, Firefox will appear twice. Once icon-only on the left among all the other pins, then again in the middle among all the windows listed.
Contrast this with Icon-Only Task Manager, where Firefox will only appear exactly once either a pin or window.
This would be nice (I also haven’t found a way to do what you’d like). More than once I’ve accidentally opened up a new instance of a pinned app because of this. It’s a super minor annoyance, but still something I’d like to be able to change.
There is a checkbox with a very confusing name in the task manager applet’s settings that does just that. I can’t remember its name just now (something about separated launchers. It’s “Combine into single button”. Nope, it’s “Keep launchers separate” and it’s indeed needs restart).
Tbh, I'm still super impressed with smoothness of :kdenew: KDE Plasma5 on :postmarketos: PostMarketOS on such an old phone (Samsung Galaxy A300FU). Truly an achievement. Of course it is far from optimal (e.g notifications can clutter the screen and their close button are out of bound of the display).
@bart
Correct, the PmOS Stable is what I have installed, hoping that the experience is more solid and "stable", although even the lock screen is far from "stable":
