I donated to @kde.org just a little more this year because of how much I appreciate the software I use every day. Especially #Elisa, the music app that made me love music apps again for the first time in years!

If you appreciate #KDE, you can donate too: kde.org/fundraisers/...

I don't think I'll buy jumbo avocados again, these are huge!
Half of a jumbo avocado with the pit/seed in the center. It takes up at least a third of a 9 inch plate.

I've begun upgrading my machines to Fedora KDE 40 with KDE Plasma 6.0. So far, a tremendously smooth success, even with pre-beta Fedora Linux 40! 🥰

In the Fedora Linux 39 Release Party right now, a great session about the revamp around Fedora's famous badges details how the style of badges are being reworked to give them a fresh look! #WeAreFedora #FedoraLinux

You can join the party now and even get a badge for it! hopin.com/events/fedor...
Chris Idoko and Roland Taylor talks about preserving meaning and intent when revamping the badges.

☑️Waycheck (for checking protocols your #Wayland environment supports) is available in #Fedora, #openSUSE #Tumbleweed (as well as #CentOS, @almalinux.bsky.social, et al through #EPEL9)! 🎉

You install the waycheck package there, courtesy of yours truly! 🤠

(Shameless plug: github.com/sponsors/Con...)
A Fedora Linux 39 system running KDE Plasma showing Konsole on the top right with output showing "waycheck" installed through DNF. Waycheck is running in the center showing the protocols that Kwin supports. A system dialog box next to it shows that it is Fedora Linux 39 with KDE Plasma, with another dialog behind it partially obscured showing KDE reporting the same information as Waycheck in a less clean fashion.
