One of the worst things about being a Linux user is that you have to deal with Linux users from time to time. Like the time an extension author had to quit due to being shit on by users.Jorge Castro
#KDE is my #DE of choice because I feel it brings, for me anyways, a solid desktop experience. However, the story changes with a #touchscreen-enabled laptop. I feel that #GNOME is really good for touchscreens, and I must say how impressed I am with GNOME's touch support! It's very clean!
Great job GNOME (and surrounding) devs! The only thing I recommend is enabling the minimize button by default because I feel it can help with decluttering open windows. I honestly don't care about the maximize button, however, as I find myself hardly using it.

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.
