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.

Finally, ~/Templates support!!

It's a great addition. It's a surprisingly powerful aspect of gnome that nobody, not even Gnome, ever seem to talk about.

They really should place a text file in that folder to explain how it works (and of course exempt it as being used as a template)

You mean one of those 6 folders that I delete as soon as I start up a new install?

Just ran through that list of bugs and don't see my issue that happens all the time. I guess I'll have to add a ticket.

My bug is when minimizing and restoring windows (fedora plasma 6 latest version), the first time or two it is smooth, but a few more times and it gets really jerky. It acts like a memory leak somewhere.

It can be a theme or a plugin issue.

Sharing a file to your device via KDE Connect no longer breaks after the first time you do it until the app you shared the file from is restarted

Yeeeees!

Oh thank you, finally. KDE connect has been pretty much useless since its Inception because of these things

I think this is a YMMV kind of thing because it has always worked for me.

I used it like 10 minutes ago lol, it is indeed useful and just got an upgrade.

Don't see mention of fixes for the resume-from-sleep bugs that have been around since at least 6 :'(
