I heard that KDE could use some fundraising campaign artwork, so calling all artists who may follow me:

• If you like KDE stuff like Krita or Plasma etc..
• And if you like Konqi and Katie

We could use some artwork!

It is volunteer work (so very likely no payment) and the artwork will have to have permissive license such as CC-BY-SA. And I understand for many artists that's a lot to ask.. But you never know if you don't ask right?

There's different style campaigns for different holiday seasons. If you're interested, let me know here or my email, and I'll give out details how to contact the promo team.

Here's examples of various artwork we have: https://community.kde.org/Promo/Material/Mascots

Edit: I don't think there's participation limit either. :)

And yes, this makes you a contributor to KDE! :)

@omgubuntu
There are all kinds of people nowadays.
TBH, IDK why many of them have to create their story about how things actually happen, and then follow it and consider they are the only who have the truth and all the others are deaf silly ones. When actually, they are the #narrowMinded ones…

BTW, I hope you won't give up cause of messages like this.
Yes, it's true that #OMGUbuntu doesn't seem to have as many members as other #Linux-related blogs, and yeah, #OMGUbuntu **is** more focused on certain topics, but it doesn't mean it isn't interesting and worth it. I always like your articles, as they're often funny, and often with interesting #POVs, so you sometimes make me understand the things in other ways.
So yeah, keep up the fantastic work!

BTW, are you planning to provide #paid-only articles and others? In order to support the #blog?

Sendero Linux now offers refurbished OnePlus 6T smartphones pre-installed with postmarketOS.

Intended for enthusiasts and tinkerers, these devices are not meant to be a daily driver.

The pmOS goal of reducing e-waste with #Linux fits nicely with our existing business selling refurbished laptops with Linux.

We offer free shipping within the USA. Check out the shop for more details: https://senderolinux.com/shop/

Maybe an unpopular opinion. But as someone who was very skeptical at first, I believe that #Flatpaks have been a net positive for #Linux in terms of making a new users choice of distro less crucial and therefore easing the barrier to entry for curious windows users.

At our next #Nix #Heidelberg meetup on Friday, October 17, we'll hear from @zekjur on "Nix in 2025: Why I switched".

Michael Stapelberg is the inventor and maintainer of the #i3 window manager, a former #Debian #Linux Developer, and creator of the Go appliance platform gokrazy. Having occasionally tried #NixOS over the years, Michael finally went all in in 2025 and has published multiple blog posts in the process.

Da brauchst Du 1x eine #virtualbox nach einem halben Jahr und ausgerechnet dann geht nix mehr.

Nein, ich werde jetzt nicht anfangen irgendwas am #kernel rumzufummeln.

Aber #linux ist mittlerweile auch nicht besser als Windows. Nach jedem zweitem Update musste rebooten und Inkompatibilität ist ein Aushängeschild geworden.

TL;DR we maintain a new repo for updates intended for upstreaming to CentOS Stream, so if you deploy CentOS Stream in production you can get access to updates earlier without diverging from Stream long term.

But it belatedly occurred to me--Hey! This #Linux box that a kind friend gave me to road-test various distros*--the Linux it's already set up with would probably work at least as far as logging in to Mastodon.

This sitch also suggests I should step a bit more lively in getting comfortable with #Linux, against the day the Mac inevitably dies irretrievably.

Bazaar has really changed the game for me. I can't think of a single app in the last few years that has had such a positive effect on my usage of #linux

As a #gnome nerd I love all my cool new libadwaita apps. I consider myself in the know, but to find so many new apps I didn't even know existed before. I didn't expect that.

And the gnome-search integration is just so transparent, most of the time I don't even use the UI. I open it just to check the new and updated apps section! Positive patterns all around, love it.
