As a user of the old Opera browser back in the day, I cannot express how much I have longed for this feature! Really looking forward to this 🥳

I tend to stick with Plasma's own panels but I'll give this one a spin over the weekend. From the looks of it, it has quite the set of options, which is always fun to tinker with 🙂. Thanks for sharing this.

TrueNAS Core as main OS and a few jails for the services I run on the machine.

As someone not from the USA I am convinced, after reading many news articles over the past decades, that people voting for the GOP are either evil or too dumb to make any kind of impactful decision.

After I got the update, the first thing I did was look for the setting to disable the system tray icon 😅. Alas, there is no such setting, so I hid it using KDE's controls, but it's suboptimal..

For me it boils down to principles. You're totally right and many companies I hate will have alot of my info due to others, but I'll be damned if I cooperate with them.

And in case anyone wonders, it works fine in BSD as well. I have a jail with rTorrent which is locked to the VPN connection and uses a cronjob to keep port forwarding active 🙂.

That would be unlawful detention here. Also, what about people that go in and decide they don't actually want to buy anything after all?

It's not like you're trapped... you can just walk out if you want, but doing so without paying and carrying full bags may raise an eyebrow with employees. Although I think I could easily get away with that in my small village supermarket during quiet hours when nobody is paying attention.

23.1 already has ray tracing support, although it doesn't work on all titles. With 23.2 a notable example that should have rt support is Cyberpunk 2077. The rt performance should also increase by a lot, and even more in 23.3.

That said, I also think I will turn it on, say the frame rates are too low and switch it off again. And that's with a 7900 XTX. What I have seen of ray tracing I do not consider all that impressive. Maybe experiencing it myself will change my mind, but the Radeon 7000 series is not powerful enough in that department I think. And considering I want this card to last 4ish years, I probably won't see ray tracing on my machine any time soon, unless FRS 3 proves to be surprisingly good.

Great! I've been looking forward to this! 😄

Very interesting blog post, thank you. Quite different from the "This week in KDE", but a nice addition for software developers and tech-savy readers. I'll keep an eye on this blog 🙂.

Welcome 🙂. I always loved bleeding edge so Arch really suits me well. There's probably a distro out there for everyone and you seemingly have found yours!
