From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Lots of genuinely useful things and tangible improvements to look forward to on this list. What a contrast with Windows announcements these days, which are full of features that are either trivial or user-hostile.

Nice. Does anyone else have laggy animations when shutting down their pc from the start menu? Or when messing with the toggles in the taskbar (like calendar)? Just all around laggy animations. Doesn’t bother me that much but curious if it’s a known issue

I also see delayed response in displaying shutdown options.

Is your cache folder on a hdd?

[–] Mazoku@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago

No everything is on an nvme ssd

Me too. Noticeable Delay around 6s.

Whole lot of great improvements but the one that got me excited was "Support for syncing the color of your keyboard's RGB backlight with Plasma's accent color" hopefully it works with my keyboard. Since I moved to Linux I haven't been able to change the color from the default rainbow.

Have you tried using openrgb?

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Thanks I just tried it out and it worked. I can finally use my rgb.

[–] MazonnaCara89@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

No problem!

I'm already beta testing it. A solid improvement. Fixes a lot of long standing issues and makes quite a few existing features easier to use.
