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":
https://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.
