👉 "The core issue is that open source contributors are not paid fairly. 60% of open-source maintainers are unpaid volunteers, and just 13% make a living as professional project maintainers, according to the 2023 State of the Open Source Maintainer Report."
Boosts appreciated 🚀

Anyone knows why #gnome-software and #KDE #discover are so slow with #flatpak?
Like often when I'm downloading sth. I can't browse apps or they load for ages. Using the website works instantly.
It feels and is a lot more reliable to use flatpak from the terminal in my experience, I wonder why the #GUI stores have these problems.
Also often had long load times in those stores on #linux mobile.
Did you also experienced such issues? Are you a gnome/kde dev and know where it could come from?

9th graders learn Linux for the environment!
Last week in #Hannover, #KDEEco joined Akademie der Spiele, an event for 200+ students with 20+ career/cultural workshops.
Students salvaged dozens of computers with #OpenSource #FreeSoftware.
They learned about the #environmental costs of #eWaste and device production.
They presented their work to peers and teachers!
Some even played games🚀
We're proud of our students - congrats for all you achieved in only 5 days!

It's hard to believe it's been over 10 years of #KDEConnect...until your 10-year certificate expiry bugs start rolling in 😅
If you've been using KDE Connect for a long time and started experiencing connection issues, you may be affected!
Fortunately, contributor Adam Liscak has taken the task and is updating the #KDE and #Android clients to automatically handle certificate regeneration!
I maintain that we need a "fall guy" group in the Linux desktop space to fund, develop, and openly release stuff that would get the Internet mad at existing players, so they typically avoid doing them.
Keeping in mind the intent is to push things forward while not caring about peoples' gut reactions (because technology is more nuanced than a gut reaction!), this could include…

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!

Thanks to all you developers out there adding brand colors to your apps over the past months we're almost ready to launch featured banners ✨
If you're an app maintainer and haven't done this yet for your app, here are the docs: docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-…
To make it more interesting we're setting a deadline! We will be launching the new banners on April 20th, so for the possibility to be featured during the first week, update your apps today :)

Just bought a #DELL 3190 laptop, new for $150 (11.6" screen, 64GB eMMC). It's fully supported on #Linux, and even if it has a Celeron N4120 CPU and only 4 GB of RAM, it'll work fine with #Mint, or #XFCE (and #Gnome/ #KDE if you don't mind some minor lag). Not opening too many browser tabs will ensure that the swap file won't get used too often.
If you're on a tight budget this is a good option, as it also has great battery life too at 10 hours with Linux.

After being kneecapped by a #patents troll years ago, #Mozilla Location Services, the only somewhat trusted (non-Google/Apple) "Wi-Fi positioning system" (geolocation based on triangulating collected #WiFi SSIDs), is now shutting down: github.com/mozilla/ichnaea/iss…
MLS was how #GeoClue could get a meters-accurate location without a #GPS receiver / sky line-of-sight.
It was used by many #GNOME / #KDE apps to get instantaneous neighborhood-level location (for maps, local weather…) on #Linux laptops.

Ok, so I'm a few days late, but I have been using my new OnePlus 6 with #GNOME Shell mobile and #postmarketOS, aside from a few issues (the camera not working, but that's being worked on, GPS not really working, weird "Headphones" and "Earpiece" outputs showing, GNOME being a bit laggy, mobile data randomly stops), I have switched my SIM card over and it surprisingly hasn't been too bad.
Maybe I'll try #KDE #Plasma Mobile soon as well :D
