De volta às raízes da customização! 🐧
Anos atrás eu usava o KDE, depois migrei para o Gnome e fiquei por lá, mas nos últimos anos senti um engessamento grande. O Gnome é bom, bonito e simples, mas perdi aquela liberdade de customização. Algo que eu sempre gostei. Aquela ideia de liberdade do Linux.
Semana passada, decidi dar uma chance ao KDE Plasma 6. A adaptação foi muito fácil e estou adorando! Me sinto mais leve e livre para deixar o desktop com a minha cara (e meu humor!). Excelente retorno!
#KDEConnect c'est vraiment sous-côté ! Vraiment un excellent outil !
Should I brag about the fact we don't have any AI usage in the KDE Developer documentation?
It's all done by real people.

The anti-minimalist backlash is the bigger story behind Oxygen’s revival
A few weeks ago, we talked about a project within KDE to revive two of their classic themes, Oxygen and Air, and polish them up to make them usable on the current versions of KDE. The developers and designers working on this project say they've been utterly surprised by just how popular this ne
Standard OS design in 2026 is wild. Big Tech screenshots your desktop and melts polar ice caps just to generate 3D emojis. 🦖📉
We're done with digital chaperones.
Our zero-telemetry desktops are built on hardened Fedora:
🪟 #lucentOS for traditional Win 11 workflows.
🍏 #fijiOS for sleek, MacOS Like, floating layouts.
Your RAM is for actual workloads, not corporate spyware. Absolute autonomy is back.

Kaidan 0.10.1 was released. This version brings media sharing and new message marker fixes.
Kaidan is a user-friendly and modern chat app for every device. It uses the open communication protocol XMPP (Jabber). Unlike other chat apps, you are not dependent on one specific service provider.

So uhhh... KDE 1 on Slackware 15, anyone?
Buenos días,
Primer #ViernesDeEscritorio del año para mí. Ya se puede aprecir el upgrade de procesador; de una Ryzen 5 3600 a un Ryzen 7 5700X. Fondo de escritorio del peliculón Akira.
Updates at haikuports, Skrooge got updated to 26.1.20 for 64bit, Tellico got updated to 4.1.5 for both 32bit and 64bit, Enjoy! :)

Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop.
It's a deliberate choice I made. Not out of love for free software. Not out of mere ideology. Not out of great hatred towards Microsoft.
I simply did it out of the severe clash between the RAM shortage and the abhorrent RAM consumption of Windows 11.
And thus, Linux girth be damned, this is my new home.
KDE's gear26 (26.04.0) now also released for the Haiku people, a few applications are still a wip but should be online in the near future. Thanks upstream on the update!
In total 120 updated recipes have been involved including libraries and applications.
For a list of new features, look up at:
New are Kirigami Gallery (with qqc2_breeze_style) and Lokalize.

Trying to keep up with KDenlive versions on Haiku, checking out latest release (did a version bump for mlt after seeing a pointer for it on the KDE forum). Doesn't look all that bad. :)
