I have no idea how long this has been a thing, and maybe every clipboard works that way, not just Plasma, and I never realized it.

Nobara has a lot of fixes in it that are made for video editing and graphics, particularly davinci and blender. It's quite cutting edge on it's packages (despite being based on Fedora 39 it has Plasma 6 for last few weeks). but otherwise quite stable to use. All non-free package repos are enabled. Overall, it's been a low-maintenance, high productivity environment for me.
I would like to have a central Calendar that I could sync everything to it, from my email calendars and my to do list, is there something like that selfhosted or not, that is FOSS?
Hmm, I've never heard of this before. It seems pretty mature and robust. It even passes Kerberos tickets across SSH for authenticating file access for an sshfs mount or remote login. Seems like a better way to centralize authentication than NFS at first glance.

I'm not sure how well docker-in-docker would work via portainer. Maybe it does, I've not tried it.
I would just do it from a folder you set up yourself and drop the docker-compose.yml in it, and go. If you want to share your dockercompose I can see if I notice a problem. I remember having to get over a couple issues at the time, but it's been a while and can't remember them offhand.
I am currently on win10 but have been toying with mint and liking it. I intend on fully switching over soon. I have also been toying with the idea of some simple 3D modeling, like making custom parts for projects around my house.

Probably better starting on FreeCAD as a beginner because if you have experience with other CAD packages, using FreeCAD requires a major paradigm shift. I started a newbie friend on it with no other experience, and he's way further ahead on it than I am, because I just can't wrap my head around it with my preconceptions of CAD.
So educate me about Onshape. It looks like another Fusion360 where all your work is locked into their cloud service and when they decide to start charging you for it, you're up the creek.
I have a very robust distrust of these SAAS companies and don't climbing a learning curve that's going to end in a product I can't afford one day. Even if a foss product is no longer developed, I have a version that works with my files forever.
As a farmer and mechanic, I use the hell out of our FLIR for checking hotspots on equipment, like failing bearings. I've identified a few problems before they became really expensive.

Well, every project ends up finding things that aren't as easy as they may have thought, or chooses after the fact to devote the time to other things. I could cherry pick decade old features from every long-lived project, like KDE or Gnome and say that makes them worthless. They patently aren't worthless, and anyone that wants to criticize is welcome to file a bug and follow through on the fix. Most bugs don't get fixed because people won't follow up.
I'm happy with where they've gone overall, it fits a lot of my needs that I'd have to use something like Google or Microsoft instead, so it's annoying as shit to see every person that can't be arsed to put in the time to get it working properly for the things it does well to shit on it every. goddamn. time. it's. name. shows. up gets on my last nerve.
On the plugins, I couldn't say, I've not used those plugins. I do use ones like Gpoddersync, Recipes and Snappymail with no issues. I did try that Forms plugin and it was a bag of shit. Never had issues with the client, but I've only used it on Windows once, every other system its on is Linux, but it's been solid.
In the Docker All-in-One, the Collabra Suite integration is flawless and I have several people using it on my server. Performance is snappy, especially with a few recent updates. I highly recommend the AIO, after having used NC in baremetal, NextcloudPi, Docker, it's the least maintenance and best update experience by far.
I'm working on a some materials for a class wherein I'll be teaching some young, wide-eyed Windows nerds about Linux and we're including a section we're calling "foot guns". Basically it's ways you might shoot yourself in the foot while meddling with your newfound Linux powers....
After thinking for about a year about it I decided to rename the project to 🚀NetAlertX. This will help prevent confusion about which fork someone is using, and differentiate it from the now stale upstream project. With about 1800 or so commits over the stale project, I thought, this project deserved a new name. It will also...
Edit: if you're evaluating this, use a chromium based browser because there's a pile of things not working if you use FF. That means I'm not going to use it, but you do you.
The hard to find ARP scan dialog box that is pretty much the starting point for anything here is very special. There's no dropdown that lists the physical interfaces so you have to hunt around to find the listing for Network Hardware that for some reason is under the About top level menu item. Of course, that lists every virtual docker interface along with the physical network devices so you'd better know what you're looking for.
Contrary to the poorly organized docs, the physical interface will rarely be eth0 or eth1, it'll be something like "enp5s2". So now you go back to edit the entries to the physical interface but you can't, all you can do is Remove All. Well, better get your entries letter perfect, because if you make a mistake on a single character, you're starting from scratch after another Remove All.
In your docs, you recommend not editing the app.conf file, but that would be way more forgiving than this. At least there you can add VLANs.
And there's no way I can see to bulk add new devices to a known and/or trusted state. Go into each device and uncheck the "New Device" box. How do I add a device to My Devices? Who knows.
Publishers: Nothing to find in the Settings for each of the publishers. Every publishers settings section is blank.
UI will take to blinking randomly as it gets into a refresh loop. Have to close the window and reopen it to get it usable again. Sometimes all the text in each setting header goes away. No headings on the tables for the Devices, just the set order arrows that would be on each column, not lined up with anything correctly. Oh, now I've lost every setting on each setting section, just blank.
I'm reticent to get much more into the app because if this is the introduction, I'm scared of what other frustration I'm going to find. Not to mention having the arrows for the left menu tree expansion backwards to how nearly everyone else ever does it, but I guess that's just my OCD.
Man, I want to like this because it looks like it could be a simple to use version of Nagios, but some of the design is pretty hard to take.
OK, sorry to discourage you, it wasn't my intent. I updated to FF 125 during my evaluation and that didn't fix anything, but switching to Chrome and things started working made me think this is just another project designed for Chrome. I've tried to help on projects like that and the attitude I've always gotten back is "then use Chrome like everyone else, weirdo".
I used to project manage a programmer team, and UI is the biggest user complaint I would get hit by. So I'm pretty sensitive to non-intuitive UI design. At this point, I'd rather edit the conf file than use the Settings page. Not sure how to reload that conf file other than to restart the container.
I wish I had time to spend on this submitting actual code, because I like a lot of what I see. Best I could do is add to your list of todo's by creating issues and it sounds like you have plenty on that list already. If you want a couple more, open the spoiler below. In any case, have fun on your project and don't let assholes like me bring you down.
spoiler
Remove Last: this isn't great. A selectable list with Edit and Delete buttons is more usable and standard. I saw all those Remove Last buttons throughout the Settings, and it's not much better than Remove All if you have to delete every entry after the faulty one to fix your list. There's plenty of settings that have a dozen items in the list that would all have to be re-entered manually as text.
Dropdowns pre-validate input. Making a box that you can put random additional arguments into means you have to chop up the input in arguments to validate, or maybe you aren't validating it until you press Save, in which case you're making it even tougher to validate the entire file. You can only show items in the dropdown that are valid for that input. Several pages of docker virtual interfaces and named networks is probably not what you want in the dropdown. Eth0 is not a standard interface name anymore in most distros.
That bulk-editing workflow; so I pick items on one page, why would I expect that they'd be carried over when I go to a completely different page in another section of the application? And in that section, there's nothing to indicate that clicking on the gray bar in the middle of the warning text orange box would pop up the list of devices so I can do things with them. What I typically see in things like this is checkboxable list items and a toolbar or menu at the top of the list on the Devices page to perform actions.

I don't know why everyone is getting self-righteous about this. I've used Linux since the mid-90s, and occasionally I find it easier to just run a GUI file manager as root to do some filter and deletions of things in caches and such that need root permission. Hell, I want to edit the files in /etc/wireguard for my tunnels; should I only do this at a sudo prompt in the terminal when I'm perfectly capable of pulling it up in Kate and copypasting stuff in?
Get off your high horses, there's plenty of valid use cases if you're using your head.

This was a sophisticated attack happening over 2 years, from knowing the current maintainer was emotionally vulnerable to the structure of using the build system to introduce the patched code to Linux distro repos.
I'm guessing Kaspersky will come to the same conclusions many others have; that this was a state actor or similiarly well heeled group.
I wrote a blog post about my experience with the Minisforum V3 AMD Tablet, focusing on how Linux/Fedora/KDE works on this device and how Linux performs on the tablet devices.
What I see is that there is an asymptotic leveling out of the proprietary operating systems. Nothing really improves anymore at that level. On the other hand, the free operating systems are making large strides towards that same level of usability every year.
In the end, if all the OS's end up at parity function-wise, the free one that doesn't abuse it's users privacy is going to come out on top.
What's kinda neat is that I've seen NixOS users that will take the logfiles from dconf and use it to add into their configuration.nix and completely configure their DE on build.
Maybe I'm just new, but I just realized you can Ctrl-select or Ctrl-dblclick individual, separate pieces of text and copy them to the clipboard in one operation.
