OK Linux folks. With #KDE hitting 29 years old, I'm curious about switching my gaming PC from Windows 11 to KDE. The games I play are listed on ProtonDB as being gold or platinum, so I think I'm good as far as gaming goes, but I have some other software concerns.
What do y'all use for cloud file storage/syncing?
What do you use for image editing/creation?
Where can I find out if my Razer Leviathan and HyperX mic will work on KDE?
Ich teste momentan ja 
#Gnome unter #Fedora auf meinem Arbeitsgerät, während ich eigentlich seit Jahren privat und vorher beruflich #KDE #Plasma gewohnt bin.
Weiß noch nicht ob ich dabie bleibe. Ich muss mich ehct bei sehr vielen DIngen umgewöhnen und einiges umbiegen bzw. nach meinen Bedürfnissen konfigurieren. Aber eigentlich will ich den Desktop ja nicht zu stark verbiegen...
An anderen Stellen vermisse ich Features.
Nein, ist natürlich nicht alles blöd: Gnome ist wirklich schick und fühlt sich wie aus einem Guss an, außerdem gibt es auch wirklich tolle #GnomeCircle Apps.
Gibt es tolle Exklusiv-Features oder Workflows, die ich mir mal anschauen sollte? 👀
Die geschmeidigste Version war, glaub ich, die 14. Ich bedauere, dass man danach den #Unity #Desktop aufgegeben hat.
Er hat m. M. nach ein innovatives Bedienkonzept gehabt. Schließlich möchte ich kein besseres Windows, weshalb ich mit dem #KDE Desktop oder #Linux #Mint nie richtig warm geworden bin. Das sind trotzdem gute Projekte.
I heard that KDE could use some fundraising campaign artwork, so calling all artists who may follow me:
We could use some artwork: Drawings of Konqi and Katie for fundraising efforts. Here is a good example: community.kde.org/File:Konqui-…
The promo folk will explain more what they need specifically, I'm mostly a messenger.
It is volunteer work (so very likely no payment) and the artwork will have to have permissive license such as CC-BY-SA. And I understand for many artists that's a lot to ask.. But you never know if you don't ask right?
There's different style campaigns for different holiday seasons. If you're interested, let me know here or my email, and I'll give out details how to contact the promo team. You can also chat with them directly through their Matrix channel: community.kde.org/Get_Involved…
Here's examples of various artwork we have: community.kde.org/Promo/Materi…
Edit: I don't think there's participation limit either. :)
And yes, this makes you a contributor to KDE! :)

#nextcloud made it possible for me to (self-)host my (and my family's) phone calendars, contacts, and even when pictures are taken, they get uploaded to our Nextcloud instance, and NOT to google/apple.

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!
