I have the very old KDE Slimbook I from around 2017, and am very happy with it, built quality is very decent, well it is 7/8 years old now and still working nicely. Also have good experience with their support. PSU in the laptop died when it was about one year old because of lightning strike and electricity surge and they replaced the PSU without any questions and cost (except for shipping). The only thing I miss with my laptop is better keyboard, and more sturdy screen hinges. But yeah other then that. I can only recommend Slimbook.
Running surprisingly well for a beta. I really hope to find some free time and help some more with reporting the minor bugs left during the end of the year vacation time and help polish for the final release.
Loving the new style. Still a bit of rough edges to polish and can’t wait to see them in practice after the finall release in February next year.
Recent info on this: Android and RISC-V: What you need to know to be ready
Yeah same here. Not to mention that recently they started nagging you a lot when using ad-blocker. And not to mention all the Google spyware going on on Youtube
Everything Meta/Facebook does is the worst of spyware. And they are bad for democracy and all. Best to aviud their trash as widely as possible to prevent further harm to yourself and to society at large.
Couldn’t agree more with this. It was a well worth switch for me too. They had some moment of bullshiting with closed MQA audio format abut have now come to senses and are getting rid of this nonsense and switching to open FLAC for lossless audio also for highest quality.
But isn’t this the point of cross-posting feature? The intended use; to get the info into many communities/instances? If it is the right community that is on topic it is not spamming. Since not all people are on all instances and all communities and might miss something good otherwise. I take it more as a visual spam and a Lemmy annoyance. Similar as to what it has been on Mastodon when in the past consecutive re-boost of posts would also show up multiple times one after another. And in latest versions of Mastodon they fixed it so only one entry is shown. I think this is what Lemmy should also do.
Yeah sorry about that. Lemmy really needs a feature to collapse multiple consecutive cross-posts into one entry.
I miss this too. It should be possible because it is shown in the Audio System Settings. There is also a bug open for this improvement: 453629 – Show full window titles on Applications tab, as the KCM does
No thanks. We don’t need more closed and bloated spyware, what we need is more open and privacy respecing OSes like GNU/Linux and devices using it like Steam Deck.

If all goes perfectly it should be at the end of this year, so December 2023, but most likely we will have to wait a couple of months more.
Ir was my first desktop I encountered when introduced to GNU/Linux and it is actually what made me delay my switch to GNU/Linux since I disliked it so much. back then I did not know there are more desktop options so Iit made me think the whole GNU/Linux is not interesting to me. It was not until a few years later until I was told there are other options and I was shown KDE desktop (not called Plasma yet back then) that I fell in love with GNU/Linux.
Why I did not like GNOME was that it was too limited and limiting and unconfigurable. And I would say nowadays it has gotten even worse while KDE Plasma has improved a lot. I think GNU/Linux would have a lot more success at capturing the desktop OS market if KDE Plasma would be the major and default desktop in all those enterprise distributions. It is just so much better and so flexible you can even turn it to mimic any other desktop or even better customize it to fit your wery own best way of workflow and using computers.
Same here. Very good KDE Plasma and KDE apps integration, rolling and up to date apps, and very stable at that and if something would go wrong I can easily at boot switch back to a state before the update. Pure gold.
Yeah the same nudged my sister to switch over, and she still is on GNU/Linux to this day.
Yes, you are correct
If you check the specs it does say under Other: “USB-C charging”
