KDE Plasma 6.3 released

Almost after a year since the first release in the sixth generation of the popular Linux and UNIX desktop environment, KDE community announces the release of the latest version of KDE Plasma 6.3 . In this major release the System Settings’ Drawing Tablet page has been overhauled and split into multiple tabs to improve how things are organized, and new configuration options have been added to each section. KWin window manager makes a stronger effort to snap things to the screen’s pixel grid, greatly reducing blurriness and visual gaps everywhere and producing sharper and crisper images. In the color department, screen colors are more accurate when using the Night Light feature both with and without ICC profiles, and KWin offers the option to choose screen color accuracy. Hardware and system monitoring and information tools have also received new features and performance optimizations. KRunner (the built-in search tool that also does conversions, calculations, definitions, graph plotting, and much more) now let you jump between categories using keyboard shortcuts. A security enhancement landing in Discover software management/app store application highlights sandboxed apps whose permissions will change after being updated. If you’re a fan of the forecasts provided by Deutcher Wetterdienst, you’re in luck: Plasma 6.3’s weather widget allows using this source for weather data. You can now configure its built-in touchpad to switch off automatically, so it doesn’t interfere with your typing. When you drag a file out of a window that’s partially below other windows, it no longer jumps to the top, potentially obscuring what you wanted to drag it into. Plasma panels can now be cloned You can also use scripting to change your panels’ opacity levels and what screen they appear on. And there’s much more. To see the full list of changes, check out the complete changelog for KDE Plasma 6.3.

One of the standout features of Windows 11 is its enhanced gaming capabilities. It supports technologies like Direct Storage, which significantly reduces loading times in games, and Auto HDR, which improves the visual quality of compatible games. These features make Windows 11 a compelling choice for gamers.

 5. Linux (Ubuntu)

Linux, an open-source operating system, has a dedicated user base of tech enthusiasts, developers, and businesses worldwide. While Linux itself comes in various distributions, Ubuntu is one of the most popular and user-friendly versions.

Ubuntu is known for its stability, security, and extensive software repositories. It’s particularly popular among developers due to its robust command-line interface and support for a wide range of programming languages and tools.

Additionally, Ubuntu offers long-term support (LTS) versions that receive updates and security patches for five years, making it a reliable choice for businesses and organizations.

 6. Chrome OS (Google)

Ubuntu provides the dependability aspect to the table, similar to a reliable pair of shoes. And, while taking a few steps back, Windows 7 is still reminiscent of that iconic old piece in your collection, providing a sense of nostalgia and comfort.

In the case of desktop operating systems, it’s similar to choosing your travel partner for a grand adventure, who understands your needs, compliments your style, and enhances your overall experience. It’s all about finding a perfect match.

Sometimes i hate Linux for being Linux, Like i just wanna execute that exe file

Artix Linux tan

A humanization of Artix Linux! As niche as this might possibly be. I also have some extras down here, I tried some designs before deciding on this one specifically. I ALSO made some funny meme™ with Arch tan (or her unfinished design more specifically) and their relationship.

Her design is mostly inspired in the logo, having triangle shapes all around the body and clothes. She is also inspired in other os-tan like Windows XP tan and so on. I wanted to make her have a "old anime aesthetic" or something. idk

In the image we have some descriptions, for those who can't read them:

On Artix-tan's side:

Cant agree with Arch's indifference but she can only show her other alternatives exist.

Just as weeb as Arch but much more sttuborn.

Uses arch's repos and AUR because she admires her sister deep down.

On Arch-tan's side:

Eyebags from mantaining AUR with programs that don't have support.

Doesn't want to switch from systemd, thinks Artix is overreacting.

Arch like hair.

Kind of a nerd/weeb.

Programming socks.

Here I have some alt design for Artix:

🎄💾🗓️ Day 10: Retrocomputing Advent Calendar - BeOS 🎄💾🗓️

BeOS, developed by Be Inc. in the mid-1990s, was an operating system for multimedia applications, multitasking, and multithreading. Initially designed for the BeBox—a proprietary hardware platform featuring dual PowerPC processors—BeOS was later ported to the Macintosh and x86 architectures. Its kernel was monolithic, and the system was primarily written in C++. It featured a 64-bit journaling Be File System (BFS), which supported metadata and allowed rapid file queries and fast performance for multimedia tasks. Despite its technical strengths, including support for symmetric multiprocessing and a responsive graphical user interface, BeOS struggled to gain market traction. Development ceased in 2001 after Palm Inc. acquired Be Inc.'s assets. BeOS continues through Haiku, an open-source project aiming for binary compatibility with BeOS R5.

A bunch of resources and links for this one!
