From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Plasma Panels have now gained a new visibility mode: “Dodge Windows” aka “intelligent auto-hide!” In essence, the Panel auto-hides when touched by a window, but is otherwise visible

Finally! With this, we can now have a panel behave like a proper dock.

That is actually so exciting, I am so tired of the weirdly buggy behavior of "windows can cover"

I'm now getting FOMO knowing that I won't see this on Debian stable until the next 13 release 🥹

I love the stability. But damn the stability.

Their gitlab seems to be down, can't follow any of the links

I thought it could be ported to standard Linux since it's QT. Kde does not have a systemd ui yet

What about systemd-genie? No distro includes it by default

What does that have to do with KDE? It seems to be for WSL which can't run DEs
