KDE Plasma continues to evolve as a stable, robust, and beautiful desktop. What amazes me is how much FUD that still exists when I read about this wonderful desktop environment everywhere on the Internet. Unstable, bloated, uses too much ram; those things have not been true since forever. There are so many unique things about KDE that lead the way on the Linux desktop whether it be KDE connect, vaults, latte dock...

As for Dolphin as root going away, may I introduce you to the best file manager around - Krusader [External Link]? Thank me later.

Awesome news!!! What about Workshop support? Any plans to add it? Or will the in-game mod downloader (called Bananas) still be the preferred way to download assets / mods?

Quoting: KohlyKohl

Quoting: fagnerlnThis twilight theme is really beautiful! KDE breaks a bit too much IMO, but I'm for sure will try this with Wayland

Way too many times after updating packages my KDE will break in all sorts of fun ways. I've had this issue for years with every KDE distro and is a bad user experience.

Maybe you're using the wrong Distro(s) or have some wonky hardware? I've used KDE Neon since it came out (Testing Es. currently). In all these years now, the only breakage I've ever had was back when Discover was hella-buggy. Thecritical bugs are fixed now, and Discover is quite amazing!

I love the fact that, although I could use the command line for updates, Discover actually connects to the KDE Store - so it not only updates normal packages, it also updates the Snaps, Flatpaks, and theme and icon sets. Even wallpapers. It's truly a value add and just one example of why KDE is just amazing.

While I might be inclined to pass this up myself, if the humor is that on points and then I will definitely have to give it a go. I am always a sucker for irreverence humor :wink:

Wow. Reason number 945,693 to pick this up if you haven't already. This game, along with Space Haven, will keep me busy during any down-times this winter. Well done, devs!

Quoting: gustavoyaraujoI would like to see an update for Urban Terror as well, which is a decent counter strike like game.

They've been working - in one form or another = on updating UT for at least 8 or 9 years now. Sadly, not holding my breath.

Quoting: AwesamLinuxIt is not easy to completely avoid Google/Apple on mobile phones.

the main problem is the financial apps like BankID. I feel like it is a serious privacy issue that you practically can't pay bills or taxes without an Android or iOS phone.

I'm not understanding the issue. Do you have to pay bills with a cell phone? I do not have any software on my cellphone that deals with financial transactions. I have a financial app on my computer that I use * it is run through https and a VPN. What am I missing?

As for the dependency on Google, it has taken me a while but I am a 100% there except for Google maps. I suggest checking out KolabNow.

Any Linux build up yet? I have the original disks, but the release in GH is only an .exe. Would like a native build!

Great game that I've been enjoying a lot lately! Good humor and rewarding tech trees. I was gifted the base game and picked up the 1st two DLC's since then. I'll be adding this latest one this weekend. I thoroughly recommend this game (and I usually am not a "hipster pixel" kind of guy).
