Great documentary about 5 years of KDE development by comrade Nicco Loves Linux.

If you’re interested in large scale open source processes then KDE is an amazing organization to get involved in. Even if you can’t triage bugs or program new features, just monetarily supporting the project or spreading word of mouth is great as well.

One should expect KDE Plasma 6 in rolling release distros like Tumbleweed and Arch right now as well as stable releases such as Fedora 41 and Ubuntu/Kubuntu 24.10 + Debian 13. (Plasma 6 will not be in Ubuntu/Kubuntu 24.04 LTS unfortunately due to feature freeze)

Welcome to libre

A comm dedicated to the fight for free software with an anti-capitalist perspective.

The struggle for libre computing cannot be disentangled from other forms of socialist reform. One must be willing to reject proprietary software as fiercely as they would reject capitalism. Luckily, we are not alone.

Resources

Free Software, Free Society provides an excellent primer in the origins and theory around free software and the GNU Project, the pioneers of the Free Software Movement.
Switch to GNU/Linux! If you’re still using Windows in $CURRENT_YEAR, flock to Linux Mint!; Apple Silicon users will want to check out Asahi Linux.
Social Media Recommendations:

The Linux Experiment: Weekly news host for Linux/libre software related news.
Nicco Loves Linux: Developer for KDE who makes interesting videos.
David Revoy: An incredible artist with a cool webcomic, all done with GNU/Linux.
Michael Horn: Makes videos about his various experiences with Linux.

Rules

Be on topic: Posts should be about free software and other hacktivst struggles. Topics about general tech news should be in the technology comm or programming comm.
Avoid using misleading terms/speading misinformation: Here’s a great article about what those words are. In short, try to avoid parroting common Techbro lingo and topics.
Avoid being confrontational: People are in different stages of liberating their computing, focus on informing rather than accusing. Debatebro nonsense is not tolerated.
All site-wide rules still apply
