Here is this week's #Linux and #OpenSource News show!
#KDE Plasma 6.5 should release today (if it's not already out), so here is a look at most of the features I could find that are included in there.
This is definitely one of these "tock" releases that refines, improves, and fixes, instead of outright changing things, and I think it's exactly what we need!
#Windows 10 is now End of Life, which in itself is normal, but also, this is a very specific event, because, first Windows 10 is still huge, and second, the options are very, very limited, and all bad.
let's talk about it:
#Ubuntu 25.10 should release today, so here is a look at everything that changed in there, from Ubuntu specific changes, default app changes and removals, under the hood stuff, and also the changes brought in from GNOME 49:
It's been brought to my attention that my coverage of GNOME 49 was sub-par in some areas, notably the papers PDF viewer, and the Calendar changes.
One of these issues seems to stem from a naming issue: what I call "annotating" a PDF is adding inline text zones. A pop-up note that you click on isn't an "annotation", at least it isn't in the French sense of the word. But yes, paper does have "annotations"s as a sticky note on top of a PDF.
As per Calendar, I missed a bunch of changes in there.
I'm aware the Podcast server is currently down, looks like a backup was initiated last night and never properly completed, which makes the server unavailable;
I'm currently restoring another backup to another instance and making sure the domain points to that instance while I find out what's wrong and fix it :)
Here is this week's #Linux and #OpenSource News video, with some amount of #KDE related drama (solved, IMO), and a biog release week for desktops and distros:
