Plasma 6.5 is out! Look forward to cool interface re-designs (rounded corners! Automatic smooth light-to-dark transitions!), features (smart KRunner searches! Pinned clipboard items!) and tons of usability and accessibility improvements:

What's the simplest useful thing I want on my desktop?
A plain text area.
Now that I made it, any other #KDE user can have it, too!

This site does considerably better than just asking "Is this the year of the Linux Desktop?".
It lists and breaks down the current status of major software support in Linux, so you can decide whether the switch is right for you at the current moment, as well as a guide to help you make an informed choice on distro and know what else you might be getting into.

Today is Plasma 6.5 Beta test day (1)!
KDE is Looking for daring testers willing to try out the upcoming version of Plasma.
https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/6/6.4.90/
If you like hunting down bugs, install it from your distro's unstable repos (or grab a KDE Linux image and install that — https://kde.org/linux/), give it a spin and report bugs 🪲 to:
WARNING: Plasma 6.5 is BETA software and not ready to be used in production. Testers only!

Ok people, I want to make a #gui #desktop application. It's a somewhat simple lan messenger app, something like the famous "lan messenger", but updated.
I've never created native gui applications, so I want you to tell me based on your real experience that what tools I should use.
My requirements:
1. It should be cheap to create and maintain (not too much complexity, or time consuming gymnastics and the platform and tools must be stable and not need constant babysitting)
2. It should have acceptable performance
3. It must take small Ram,cpu resources. As far as it's not annoying and hogging resources it will be ok (~300mb of ram is my max acceptable ram usage for this application)
My skills:
1. #JS / #TS
2. #Python
3. #Clojure
4. #C (not too good with it)
5. #Rust
My main issue with C and even more, rust, is the complexity and effort curve that they introduce.
I personally dislike python but if it has good native gui support I will use it.
I have most bias towards Clojure for this. it seems like a middle.

Hi, these are some desktop backgrounds I made recently.
