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.

For laptops with RGB-backlit keyboards, Plasma has gained the ability to keep the backlight color in sync with the active accent color!

That’s insane, this is why I both like KDE and the open source community in general. An option that only 1% of users will ever be able to use. And, of those only ~50% max who are able to use it will actually want to use, but someone has made it an optional feature anyway as a passion project. I will never use this but I’m delighted it exists.

is spectacle supposed to be able to copy to clipboard on Wayland or not really? hasn't worked for me on 6

Works for me.

I had to re-enable that option in spectacle settings on Fedora 40. But it does work.

For me, even on X11, it’s hit or miss if the copy actually makes it to the clipboard. I’d say 50:50 I can paste the image or I have to clip again.
