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!

This is great but can we please also have Fedora (& Ubuntu, etc.) acknowledge they started shipping operating systems without a functional screen reader when they switched to Wayland and that that’s still the case?
This is not to name and shame. Unless we acknowledge this as an error on par with shipping without monitor support and unless the culture is altered to make accessibility a showstopper, it’ll happen again.

Big thank you to @dogphilosopher for an update to flatpaks on Bluefin. Now flatpaks can be preinstalled from the ISO rather than having to download them on first boot in order to provide the intended experience. That means @thunderbird on the dock by default!
Awesome step forward for us to be able to bring you intended apps by default without straying from @flathub
If you can help with testing the new ISOs, please see below for instructions.

Hey ya’ll, thanks to @dogphilosopher 's heroic last minute efforts fighting with R2 we’ve got new Bluefin ISOs up! We now ship the Flatpaks on the ISO itself, allowing for a full offline installation.Universal Blue

Today I'll probably be posting a bit more from the #OpenAlt conference. If you're not interested in it, use that great feature of Mastodon and mute me for the weekend.
I'll be giving two talks at OpenAlt:
Fedora Asahi Remix: Linux on Apple Silicon
Fediverse: Mastodon and Others
I'll be happy to meet you at the #Fedora booth or at my talks. If you cannot come, you can watch the talks online (they're in Czech though): openalt.cz/2023/program/
It looks like Fedora 39 torrents are live a bit early. 👀 It seems like a good choice for my father-in-law's recently-liberated EOL Chromebook!

Thanks! (Can I claim a third pack by reporting a bug my patch introduced? :D)
I think Month of LibreOffice & the sticker packs are a great way to get more people involved long-term - after all the first patch/translation/bug report is often the most cumbersome one due to all the setup overhead.
I always try to lower the barriers I bump into along the way, eg. submitted this patch to #fedora to include all build debs ootb:

Official #flatpak build env when?
