Hey Distrohuggers,
In less than two months, Fedora will publish a Beta of their next version, and you KDE fans will be glad to know they have done a whole lot of work on the KDE edition. KDE Frameworks 5.79, Plasma 5.21, KDE Apps 20.12. along with subtle improvements to wayland, QT support, network, flatpak, along with updated software like LibreOffice 7.1, and some updated games, and updates to system stuff like SSSD 2.4.1
By this time next year, Fedora 34 KDE Edition will be rock-solid.
Of course, so will Kubuntu and OpenSUSE and Neon, and Mageia 8

i don't care if its written in Rust holy shit. Just stop, nobody cares at all. C++ is a fundamentally superior language and if something is written in Rust it will almost certainly lack features or have to work around Rust's missing features. stop pushing shitty programs just because they're written in rust, you should be looking at HOW GOOD THEY ARE, NOT what language they're written in

Actually running i3wm for a year, I'm happy with it but I'm searching for a manual tiling windows manager with a powerful -tabbed mode- with a config written in a proper programing language to hack on it a little bit.
Tried herbsluftwm but no tabbed mod unfortunately, I might check the suckless -tabbed- script by the way.
What do you guys recommand ?

I am an i3 user. I have tried to get on to the 'dynamic tiling wm' bandwagon, but cant seem to get a workflow for multi-monitor working as well as i3. On i3 I send a window (or send and follow) to another workspace, which may be on another monitor. I can do this in one action. On dynamic WM's, its seems to be multiple steps. Am I missing something?

Written in Rust and more focused on bling than functionality, now why am I not surprised? Well said, by the way, -Rust is the latet meme-. Until it has more years under its belt and has proven itself to be useful to solving actual problems and not just creating more colorful versions of existing tools, it can't be considered anything else.

Usually things written in Rust are advertised as the -fastest- , but really there is no noticeable speed difference between Rust and C/C++. Rust is safer by default than C/C++ however, as in C/C++ safely issues like thread race conditions and memory violations are up to the programmer to prevent from happening.

I feel so proud when my friend's Windows machine consumes 4.6G RAM just opening one browser tab with Telegram desktop, while my Arco setup uses 3.1G with 10 tabs across three windows of two browsers, one IDE, one Ebook reader, Spotify and Telegram-desktop open.

Hey DT! I am trying to decide what tiling window manager to learn first. I feel once I've made a choice I will want to stick with it until I streamline my workflow, which may take some time. What factors should I consider to make my decision?

13:15 Must one have the feh package installed? I don't have that package when I run pacman -Qi feh. I do however have sxiv, can I simply replace command -v feh with command -v sxiv?
