KDE #Plasma 5.24 Beta released

Containing extensive changes, Plasma 5.24 Beta is aimed at testers that help devs correct problems in KDE's desktop.

You can help too! Install 5.24 Beta onto a spare computer or virtual machine and test its new features.

The final version of Plasma 5.24 will be available on February 8th.

Sometimes useful to know how to sign #PDF documents under #Linux and #KDE #Plasma with #Okular. In this video I show you how it is done:

Please make sure to read this carefully before ordering a #PinePhonePro:

The #PinePhone Pro is still very much in development, and thus just won't be your daily driver smartphone upon receiving the device.

Read https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/PINE64_PinePhone_Pro_(pine64-pinephonepro) to get an idea.

I don't want to hamper your excitement, but I also don't want to see you start a rant YouTube channel because you're upset due to not reading this properly. The PPP is really cool, but it's not your new "privacy smartphone" at this point.

There's a special place in hell for marketers which makes me login to unsubscribe from their newspapers. 😡

This week in KDE: Attention to detail to the ridiculous degree - the folder icons now use the same color as your accent, re-opened app windows are coming closer to remembering their prior positions and size, and filesystem scanning gets a speed boost.

This Week in KDE: In case you thought Plasma wasn't configurable enough, now you get to pick your preferred accent colors too. That is, you can choose the background colors of highlighted menu options or selected items.
