I recently made a #Libreoffice theme I only tested on #Linux with #KDEPlasma.
There was a #Windows7 user complaining that it was broken
In the wee small hours i decided to give #GnomeBoxes another chance as a possible alternative. Chose to install via #flatpak, coz my Host is
#ArchLinux #KDEPlasma & i did not wish to risk possible gnome vs plasma file conflicts.
It did a fine job of installing an #ArchLinux VM [which i completed using the latest #ArchInstall v3.0.3], so then in an act of gross stupidity i ridiculously chose to see if it could handle a win10 VM via a 3-yr old ISO i have lying around. As i abandoned windoze "for real" in 2014, i had forgotten the many hours of time-wasting bullshit involved, at the end of which instead of getting something decent, you just get... windoze, ugh.
Anyway, so far it seems that GnomeBoxes is going ok, which makes a nice change as all prior tests of older versions failed to work properly. Doubt though atm that it'll persuade me to give up on #qemu / #kvm / #libvirt / #VirtManager. GB has no facility to Suspend VMs, so they need to be fully shutdown, which is a drag. Also, the FP version does not support USB transfer, which is a bugger, & so far i've not made #SharedFolders work [but think i know why].
US cuts funding to F-Droid, Tor Browser, Let's Encrypt and Tails Linux
Could someone running #KDEPlasma on a multi-monitor setup please try to reproduce the bug I just reported to #KDE's bug tracker and report back.

Bluetooth keyboards are becoming a standard as fewer places make the regular wireless without Bluetooth.
There have been times when I could not log into my computer, because the log-in manage did not connect Bluetooth. Ensuring this is truly incorporated into the log-in manager would be a big advantage.

Hey y'all...
Sorry for not posting any updates recently. Been busy with IRL stuff. Am still hard at work on upcoming releases.
While #Gnome will just be receiving QOL changes and tweaks, the flagship #KDEPlasma edition will be moving to #Wayland among other things. Ongoing testing is being done making sure nothing breaks. More to come soon!

#KDEplasma , vuestro salvavidas para usar X11 durante bastantes años mas en un Entorno de Escritorio completo y moderno.
(Ya que en otros minoritarios también seguirá funcionando tiempo, lo se).
Seguimos teniendo periodo de transición para rato en buenas condiciones de rendimiento ( de seguridad ya no estoy tan seguro ...)
You'd LOVE to work here
