From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Welcome to a new issue of “This Week in KDE Apps”! In case you missed it, we announced this series a few weeks ago, and our goal is to cover as much as possible of what's happening in the world of KDE apps and supplement Nate's This Week in Plasma published yesterday.

This week we had new releases of Tellico and Krita. We are also covering news regarding KDE Connect, the link between all your devices; Kate, the KDE advanced text editor; Itinerary, the travel assistant that helps you plan all your trips; Marble, KDE's map application; and more.

Kate adds out of the box support for debugging Flutter projects.

Whew, that title had me worried it was being rewritten with Flutter

As someone who's currently wrangling with so much C++ specific issues to try and make just one bloody contribution to KDE, this comment hits too close to home.

Lmao as a flutter dev I'd be down for it

How nice of them, I asked them to add links to the apps, as I don't know what they are by the name.

Thanks :)

Window decorations in the article have the chipped off korners. That just makes me want to jump right over to KDE. /s
