DE: KDE Plasma 6.0.1
Arch Linux atualizado
Cuidado com os temas e widgets antigos, deveram deixar o KDE 5.27.10 como predefinido em todas as definições, antes de actualizar, porque não são compatíveis.
 
Lembram-se como era chato instalar drivers Broadcom no Linux antes, dia 21 de Junho, faleceu um dos criadores do "NDISWrapper"
Queria dar esta triste noticia para informar que foi Larry Finger que descobriu como instalar esse driver fora do Kernel Linux:

Xfce 4.20 Pre2 Released​

Dear Xfce community, I am happy to announce the release of Xfce4.20 pre2.

This platform pre-release consists of the Xfce core components and will be followed by the final Xfce4.20 release soon. We fixed some quirks which were found in Xfce4.20 pre1, did some further polishing and the result is now released as Xfce4.20 pre2.

Early adopters are invited to give it a try and check for compatibility before the final release, which is planned for 15. December.

Xfce4.20 pre2 includes all Xfce core components. The tarballs for building it can be found here:

Though, you might prefer to wait for distribution specific development packages.

 

At long last, the first release of GIMP 3.0 is here! This is the end result of seven years of hard work by volunteer developers, designers, artists, and community members (for reference, GIMP 2.10 was first published in 2018 and the initial development version of GIMP 3.0 was released in 2020). With GIMP 3.0 you can do more than ever before, more easily, more quickly!

Highlights
  • Need to tweak a filter you applied hours ago?New in GIMP 3.0 is non-destructive editing formost commonly-used filters. See the changes inreal time with on-canvas preview.
  • Exchange files with more applications, includingBC7 DDS files as well as better PSD export andmany new formats.
  • Don’t know how big to make your drawing?Simply set your paint tool to expand layers automatically as needed.
  • Making pro-quality text got easier, too. Style your text,apply outlines, shadows, bevels, and more, and you canstill edit your text, change font and size,and even tweak the style settings.
  • Organizing your layers has become much easier with the ability to select multiple items at once, move them or transform them all together!
  • Color Management was again improved, as our long-term project to make GIMP an advanced image editor for all usages.
  • Updated graphical toolkit (GTK3) for modern desktop usage.
  • New Wilber logo!

The GNOME project is excited to introduce GNOME 48, a fresh release shaped by six months of hard work from our amazing community. We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who contributed to making this happen!

Named “Bengaluru”, this release pays tribute to the dedication of the GNOME Asia 2024 organizers. Let’s take a look at what’s new in GNOME 48.

 
Já não usava o gnome há muuuuitos anos, resolvi testar esses dias e estou a gostar bastante. Talvez ainda volte para o sway (meu favorito há muito tempo), também gosto do hyprland, e normalmente recomendo o kde para usuários menos experientes, mas o gnome 48 foi uma boa surpresa...
Consigo tiling com uma extensão, a função de timer para descansar os olhos é muito boa, configurar tudo foi rápido e intuitivo e o visual atual do GTK/legibilidade das fontes etc está bastante bem.
 
Nunca tinha ouvido falar, baseado em Arch.

I found a Linux distro that combines the best parts of other operating systems (and it works)
Such is the case with the latest release of BlueStar Linux: a distro that essentially takes KDE Plasma and twists it into a different kind of desktop, one with a highly functional top bar, a well-designed dock, desktop icons, and more. You're getting the best of all worlds:
A Linux-like top bar
A MacOS dock
Windows-like desktop icons

Mas também estou na dúvida se não serão elementos a mais.

“I had the thrill of a lifetime, hosting dinner for Bill Gates, Linus Torvalds and David Cutler,” wrote Russinovich on LinkedIn. “Linus had never met Bill, and Dave had never met Linus. No major kernel decisions were made, but maybe next dinner ;)
