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.

“the KDE Plasma 5.27.6 update improves fractional scaling so you no longer see line glitches all over the place”

Yes! I was so annoyed by this but expected people to treat fractional scaling like an edge case because “you shouldn’t be doing that anyway” or something.

Nice, I was affected by both of these bugs they fixed. Now I can finally switch to wayland.

Did a bunch of DE hopping lately and ended up back on an XFCEfied Plasma install. Absolutely love it’s flexibility.
