I think I got confused by your "release channels" bit in the original comment, because I thought you were asking for distros which ship and support the Plasma LTS release, but I guess you're asking more whether we have an L

In Konsole's defense, this is the actual default appearance of a Konsole window when you launch it for the first time in the current stable release: https://mero.ng/i/lWMWazUP.png The screenshot on the website has

Well they're also famous for having an LTS version of Ubuntu as well (and coined the term), which I assumed you probably know with an LTS interest. But sorry I couldn't satisfy you!

Canonical provides commercial support for Plasma on Ubuntu last time I checked :)

KDE Neon was originally founded by devs who worked on Kubuntu previously, and some of that team has now moved on to KDE Linux. The company stuff in the background doesn't really matter. The team working on KDE Linux are motivated by ad

Thanks for the feedback! We have an experiment for the "extended layout for tablet mode" bit parked somewhere, stay tuned.

I have to say "the computer UI you can use without imploding in a ball of emotional-intellectual panic" is probably the best front of the box quote I've run across in a while ;-)

Maybe of interest: One of our recently-elected community-wide goals is to improve the Input story, and we started a new on-screen keyboard project called Plasma Keyboard in context of that. It's a bit experimental and a very early effo

Honestly, I'm not too fond of the screenshots in the OP's article either. I'd say it looks all fairly slapdash and too busy. I will say that the permission editing is (as you can also see in the nav bar there) a few levels do

This will be a purely personal answer, as we don't really maintain any official list of favorites. Myself and my family are running Fedora's KDE edition. The Fedora team has a long history of working very closely with the Plasma d

Honestly, this one I'm not sure about as I haven't worked on the connectivity UIs myself. I know we have backends to NetworkManager and ConnMan, and generally I would assume we pass through errors they generate and perhaps try to

We also did a lot of intentional action to get the resource usage down in the Plasma 5 generation and timeframe. E.g. the machine we optimized for during at least one or two Plasma dev meetings I remember was the original Pine64 Pinebook, w

Plasma dev here, also happy to answer questions!

I'd agree, but Intel has also halted dGPU development efforts before, cf. the canned Larrabee project. Which was more troubled on the technology side however.

Interesting, yeah. I'm mainly interested in making multi-material faster without upping to the size of an XL, so it looks like the Prusa solution would be a better fit for my needs personally. If Bambu are only swapping nozzles it also

nVidia has also been licensing their GPU IP to MediaTek recently, who are working on a 2nd generation of a SoC that combines their ARM cores with nVidia GPUs now, catering to e.g. the automotive market. Looks like using GPU IP to take over

Truly meant without offense, but I'd say if you haven't had a Prusa since the MK2S (which I think predates Bambulab entire existence?) your opinion is outdated and not really relevant anymore. The out of the box experience between

It's worth noting though that this part of the game is about to change majorly for both brands. Prusa is widely known to launch their next-generation tool changer at Formnext in Nov, which is going to be a concept where you have a rack

Prusa generally has better print quality in terms of accuracy and better overhang performance. Prusa drives the slicer development ecosystem (Bambu Studio is a fork), so new production-ready advances typically come from them first, which is

I loved this very much, and I've seen it a couple of times. Together with "Touching the Void" it ranks high on my list of the best survival pictures ever made, a specific genre I enjoy very much. And it's very intimate.

I'm assuming they don't like that either. Apple does plenty of bad things, and many are worse than this, but it doesn't mean it's not fair to point out this one is bad, too. It all comes down to "the vendor can do t

While I appreciate all the folks singing our praises, as an upstream developer I think you deserve a better response than "you are holding it wrong" :) We think that the Wayland session currently is the better choice for the major
