• Anyone using the KDE webchat?

  I am trying to use the KDE webchat on element at https://webchat.kde.org/#/login. I made an account at identity.kde.org, but it does not let me log in to the chat client. Create an account does not work and asks me to create an account at kde.org. Does anyone know how this is supposed to work? Thanks. Source: 7 months ago

• Looking for user-friendly personal computing oriented distro

  This is a hard one, but after giving it a decent amount of thought I've narrowed it down to openSUSE Tumbleweed with either GNOME or KDE as the desktop environment. Source: 11 months ago

• KDE/XMonad work laptop

  You need to be running xorg, not wayland, first of all. You can follow the tutorial at kde.org: https://userbase.kde.org/Tutorials/Using_Other_Window_Managers_with_Plasma. Source: 11 months ago

• Should i switch?

  I'm glad to hear that you use Krita (and I may assume you use Blender for animations). Both are free and open source software that is available on Linux (even better, Krita is made by the KDE project, makers of all sorts of open source projects, including Plasma, one of the most complete user interfaces for Linux out there).

• KDE publishes the new "KDE for developers" page, where you can find advice on and links to tools, frameworks and libraries that will help you build powerful and cool-looking apps using KDE technologies

  I like the concept of these "KDE for ..." pages, I think the whole https://kde.org/for/ collection should be promoted way more prominently on the front page https://kde.org/. Also, a lot of regionalized "/for" pages lists only 3 (out of 4) subpages, and some even list only a single one, this seems like a major oversight (at least list them in English if their entries weren't translated to other languages).

• Fedora Atomic Desktops

  A Fedora distro with a different desktop (or sometimes a specialized purpose): https://fedoraproject.org/spins/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Want to learn how to daily drive a linux distro as a humanities student

  Fedora, in my eyes, seems to fit what you want to do; it has boatloads of documentation, it "just works" if you want it to with an easy installer. You can also use the DNF package manager to get a lot of programs. And if you dislike how it looks by default, there are many spins. Source: 6 months ago

• What do I need to install on fedora to get it functionally close to Nobara?

  You can pick the default Fedora with GNOME Desktop or one of the alternative desktops (Fedora Spin for KDE, Cinnamon, LXDE, XFCE, etc). Source: 7 months ago

• 13" laptops which don't require [fractional] scaling

  All of that sounds like a GNOME-specific problem. Please download a Fedora 38 LiveCD with Cinnamon and test everything there. Source: 12 months ago

• Advice on Distro / DE

  To piggyback, if you're not a fan of the point-to-point release cycle of Mint, you can check out other distros, such as Fedora, which offer a Cinnamon flavor or spin. Source: about 1 year ago
