Here is my new GNU/Linux distribution guide about Debian KDE 12, the right GNU/Linux distribution for professional digital painting in 2024! Also about three major problems with GNU/Linux distros that will drive away all professional artists, IMO, and how I got kicked out of the Fedora KDE ecosystem with F40, which imposed Plasma6 and Wayland. I hope it helps other artists here!
Time for this week's #Linux and #OpenSource News! In this one, we have a terrible feature being added to #Windows, we have the # KDE #Plasma 6.1 beta, and a 5 year plan for #GNOME!
"The technicians came to check on us periodically, whispering, 'Doing OK?' For the first time in years, I got the sense there was someone in charge who cared about me, who was looking over me. It was not perfect, but it was more tender than the world outside." —Krista Diamond for Slate
For those wanting to try them out it's a matter of setting up a #haikuports repository and import those recipes. Mind you, the full frameworks for KDE on #HaikuOS are 137 packages.
In the meantime, #KDevelop and #Itinerary updated locally to latest beta 24.04.90 :)

Tldr: pass the env variable XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 to discord command
This way it's finally possible to open the share screen without it going on a loop forever with asking for you to select a thing to share with the xwaylandvideobridge!
FOSS - ensuring even new hardware stays in use when vendor-support eventually ends!
Whether or not you install GNU/Linux on it today, your new #Mac will eventually lose #Apple support. Thanks to the impressive work of #Asahi#Linux project (@AsahiLinux), it will not need to end up in the landfill once it does.
Damn yeah. Finally fixed the pin entry program to actually use the secret service on #linux#kde#plasma and to stop asking all the time for the password for signing commits.
It seems a somewhat recent breaking change, since this worked before. Anyway, someone had already written about it on #archlinux wiki.
Tldr: after setting the pin entry program on gpg-agent config to use the qt version, we need to change the gpg-agent service to have XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP as anything but "kde".
#FunFactFriday: A new fusion record has been set, with plasma being sustained for 6 minutes with 15% more energy, thanks to the tungsten lining at WEST (Tungsten (W) Environment in Steady-state Tokamak). Could tungsten be the solution for sustained nuclear fusion? News Source: https://interestingengineering.com/energy/nuclear-fusion-record-tungsten
Matrix certrainly has its rough edges, but I find it awesome that pretty much every major Linux community now has their dedicated space. All federated, of course.
Truly very happy that Nancy Drew: Mystery Of The Seven Keys is released!
I spent a large portion of last year working on it, and I’m excited to see how all the fans will receive it.
Hoping to catch some of you streamers solve the puzzles, the HeR team really stumped me with some of them!
Does anyone else have issues with #Firefox acting odd in #KDE#Plasma in terms of focus and window management?
It will not want to get focus at random times, and I'll have to click on another window and back in firefox for it to become active. In these occasions, clicking within firefox doesn't do anything.
