This Week in Plasma: many many things
We are excited to have Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop as an official edition with Fedora Linux 42!
* Plasma 6.3 brings better drawing tablet support, display improvements, and easier system monitoring
* Some support to ppc64le architecture
* x86 emulation for Arm systems (ty @AsahiLinux contributors)
* And more!
Fedora KDE has long been a strong desktop experience for anyone to use. We're happy to officially recognize its quality and the team behind it!

The @fedora team has officially released Fedora 42, with a few major changes along with many smaller updates

What do you guys do about breaking home directories in #Linux.
I mean every desktop env after some time gets flaky and then you feel like you wanted a reset but you don't want a reset because it's a lot of work to reconfigure everything and you will probably forget about details.
I mean there's #nixos but despite me liking the idea I don't like the implementation
Are there highly mature #Ansible roles for like #gnome #kde or whatever?
How do you tackle this?
My workstation crashes hard, whenever I leave it alone for long enough for the monitors to turn off. Once that happens, the machine is hard-locked. NumLock doesn't toggle, SSH'ing into the machine is not possible any more.
I'm running Kubuntu 24.04.2 LTS.
Does anyone know how to diagnose this? There's nothing in the dmesg / syslog, it just fully hangs.
A bunch of updates coming to #KDE's #UnifiedPush push notification infrastructure: https://volkerkrause.eu/2025/04/18/kde-kunifiedpush-webpush.html
Alternative Android keyboard compatible with KDE remote?
@markstos @oslandia We work closely with Qt contributors, and some #QGIS improvements have driven Qt improvements as well.
But for Wayland in particular, as @nyalld says, the support in Qt is more likely to be driven by Desktop managers like #KDE than specific applications.
If you globally want Qt apps to be better supported in Wayland, we can introduce you to the right contributors who will be happy to fix and improve support ( insert coins here ).
Odd, #LibreOffice does not like having different scaling factors on two monitors.
I've got 1.8x scaling on my left (laptop) monitor and 1.0x on my right (HDMI). It looks like they're both getting 1.8x scaling, so everything is huge on my main (right) monitor.
I had to add QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb
to the environment variables using the #KDE #Plasma menu editor to force it to run in X11 mode (XWayland), and now it's fine.

KDE vs GNOME on Wayland showdown... spoiler alert: things work pretty well these days.
The next step was to config KDE connect in this KDE. Luckily I know that I need gufw to migrate my profile, from the xFce MX linux to this KDE MX linux.
It was a matter of installing gufw, which is not default in KDE distro, since it has its own nice interface. For me sticking with what I know is the easiest since I want to drive KDE on desktop again after so many decades, even though XFce is still going to be used most, due to shortcut muscle memory

I hope everyone is having a WONDERFUL day!
