Did you know? The #openSUSE Welcome app had a modern makeover! #GNOME and #KDE Plasma use #desktop-native greeters, coordinated by a new launcher for better control and timely #feature updates. #OpenSource #Linux #openSUSE https://news.opensuse.org/2025/08/21/os-welcome-makeover/

I just installed KDE Connect on my #nixos laptop and it's absolutely amazing! Seamless integration between my laptop and phone. Send files, clipboard, SMS, etc.

It proves that the choice between freedom and seamlessness (i.e. walled gardens) is a false dichotomy; you can have both.

Only thing I don't quite understand about the new #KDE #Plasma Login Manager requiring #Systemd is - does that mean it requires systemd-boot as the bootloader, or is that completely unrelated and even systems using #GRUB can use PLM too?

My son bought a second-hand Windows 11 PC for games, and has been having BSOD issues with the graphics card since he got it. Out of desperation he tried installing Bazzite on it, which I encouraged, but was also trying not to get his hopes up, telling him that the some things might not work. But he reports that "absolutely everything works better than Windows".
I suggested he use KDE for the desktop, and he is blown away about how good everything looks, and how easy the user experience is. He has used Linux for a bit probably 7 or 8 years ago when he used a salvaged laptop at uni that had Ubuntu on it, and he remembers that being a bit janky and frustrating, but now he's decided that he'll wipe the Windows partition and stay with Linux.
So keep it up, clever people that are making Linux distros and software, you're winning.

Was soll das jetzt? Das gestrige Arch-Update von #KDE #Plasma (nicht auf 6.6, das war schon) hat meine Favoriten im Kickoff-Menü neu geordnet. Die Favoriten sind in der neuen Ordnung weder alphabetisch, noch seh ich einen anderen Sinn. Es ist einfach ein zufälliges Neuanordnen.

I'm super excited to switch over to #KDE 's brand new #Plasma Login Manager, whenever #EndeavourOS chooses to support it officially - which they've said to be in the near future. #SDDM has been pretty broken/meh for me for some time now, sometime after Plasma 6 update or so.

I shouldn't need to ask this, but lots of searching has not revealed an answer.

Is there ANY linux file manager that shows folder sizes in list view other than KDE Dolphin?

By sizes I mean actual sizes in bytes not number of items.

I haven't found one yet.

It's surprisingly difficult info to find.

Hey All!

What's your favorite Icon Set? I'm looking for something slick and colorful without being overboard. Feel free to suggest anything though, I might fall in love.

People who maintain VMs on linux, I have a question.

I have an Nvidia GTX 1060 that I have passed through to a Debian 12 VM. It works fine, but only if I use an X11 session. I can't log in to Plasma if I use Wayland. This has been the case for about a year now.

I want to upgrade the VM to Debian 13 but I anticipate that with the removal of X11 it won't work at all anymore.

Has anyone gotten a comparable Nvidia card working with an updated KDE + wayland vm? Thoughts appreciated

Here is this week's #Linux and #OpenSource news video!

In this one, we have #GNOME 50 getting a massive beta, more progress on GNOME OS, the release of #KDE Plasma 6.6, and KDE debunking some FUD around their use of SystemD, the EU taking aim at infinite scrolling, and a lot more!
