A new feature I absolutely love in @neochat is that the message delegates now offer a full previews of the file you send. Here is for example a markdown file with Markdown syntax highlighting! The same works with train tickets or any other types of tickets that KDE Itinerary can consume.

FOSS - ensuring even new hardware stays in use when vendor-support eventually ends!

Whether or not you install GNU/Linux on it today, your new will eventually lose support. Thanks to the impressive work of project (@AsahiLinux), it will not need to end up in the landfill once it does.

common linux-user FUD on FreeBSD forums:

> "modern wifi doesn't work!"
> "it won't run a desktop"

reality: user doesn't want to read docs/man/apropos

here's a Thinkpad X1 Nano:

  • KDE Plasma6 on FreeBSD 14.0R-p6
  • Intel AX201 wifi (basic wpa-supplicant params)
  • external travel monitor: plug-n-play, it just works

time required: 20 minutes of relaxed leisurely morning coffee sipping

@winterschon I installed Neon on a P14s and everything worked out of the box including WiFi, power management, the printer, and the fingerprint reader. Fantastic experience

One of my daily-driven laptops is getting a new system installed. I'm not sure whether I should stay in my familiar, cosy vanilla @gnome world – including my personal customisations, or whether I should finally seriously consider running the equally interesting for a longer term.

(No, other desktop environments are not really an option at this point)

Impressions after a week using KDE Neon: Amazing

It's been fairly stable as I would expect from an LTS. There's LOT of hiccups with whatever is happening in the tray area (power and battery sometimes doesn't work).

Language is pretty screwed up. I speak both English/Spanish in a Spanish location. Installer chooses half spanish and english in the /etc/locale, and has issues changing it in the frontend.

Overall nothing I can't fix as I put stability overall

I wonder how software licensing fits into this new EU right-to-repair directive. It seems pretty critical for repairability!

Press release: Right to repair: Making repair easier and more appealing to consumers

https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20240419IPR20590/right-to-repair-making-repair-easier-and-more-appealing-to-consumers

"Manufacturers [...] will be prohibited from using contractual clauses, hardware or software techniques that obstruct repairs."
