KDE creates a safe haven for Windows 10 exiles.

In the context of the @Endof10 campaign, we have created a new "for" page, this time "for Windows 10 exiles":

kde.org/for/w10-exiles/

In it we explain how Linux with Plasma can help users escape the deranged cycle of having to buy a new computer every time Microsoft force-upgrades their operating system.

This Week in Plasma brings the news that, with Plasma 6.4 little more than a week away, developers are hard at work crushing bugs and polishing the code.

In other news: The app launcher menu favorites and the networks list in System Settings are now keyboard-accessible, the Info Center’s Energy graph gets a smooth animation, and much more.

This animation shows how, changing the scale on the Energy Graph's time axis, the curve adapts smoothly to the new period.
