Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Oooh. I can have my Breath of the Wild time of day wallpapers again? I had something setup on Windows where three wallpapers (BotW landcape day, night, and sunset/rise) would change five times a day depending on the time.

I wonder if there's an update on Plasma's new login manager.

For now they didn't share nothing about it!

Tho in the roadmap for plasma 6.5 (https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Plasma_6) you can find:

  • Union theming system tech preview
  • plasma-login SDDM replacement
  • Wayland picture-in-picture protocol support
  • Rounded bottom window corners
  • Location services KCM
  • Global shortcuts found by KRunner
  • Automatic brightness adjustment on devices with light sensors
