:kde: KDE is investing for environmental sustainability 🥬

Before jumping to conclusions (some might see this as useless waste of resources) - it's quite the contrary:

Think about more OPTIMIZED SOFTWARE.

◉Electricity usage (and bills!) go down
◉Game consoles as Steam Deck (KDE's Plasma desktop) get more battery life
◉Shops Point-Of-Sales to use less energy
◉Supercomputers / servers / smart cars / drones / mini-PC's

::: System76 developers have managed to DISABLE Intel ME? (A backdoor) :popos:

It is recently claimed that System76's Coreboot open firmware manages now to disable Intel ME for Raptor Lake processor.

Are they on to something bigger towards the realm away from Intel's "Big Brother" practices?

This could be huge in near future! What do YOU think?

Linux, 11 months ago to RedHat

::: What is Red Hat on about? :redhat:

Red Hat: CentOS Stream will be the SOLE repository for public source code releases.

Does this not alienate some Linux community users & developers?

What could be the reaction to this? Rocky Linux might ponder some sort of paid service?

As Red Hat limits the RHEL sources to CentOS Stream only - it makes it harder for related community enterprise Linux distributions.

Red Hat is nowadays owned by IBM.

::: Ubuntu Studio - FOR ARTISTS & CREATORS - funding help requested 👛

Although the project serves admirably - the donations have dropped considerably!

Rough times - understandable, but any amount helps 🙏

Examples, why?

• MIDI inputs setup is simple in Ubuntu Studio. Not much so in stock Ubuntu.

-- Even if one successfully sets these up, the generic kernel in regular Ubuntu results as input lag. Unecceptable for pro's.

• Ubuntu Studio uses a low-latency kernel, and the MIDI input delay is imperceptible.

• Ubuntu Studio is configured in a way that a recording artist can get started with minimal setup hassle!

-- Sure, one can tweak 'n fight to achieve same on any distro - but a typical recording artist or a studio engineer won't do that.

So please, if you're able => https://ubuntustudio.org/2023/05/we-need-your-help
