oh wotta highly irritating article name!
makeuseof.com/why-2026-is-offi…
given i am passionately following progress of the Project Banana / KDE Linux atomic immutable project, & read everything i come across about it, when i saw this article prominently headlined with "KDE Linux" i jumped on it with glee.
pffffft, it's nothing of the kind, being merely a poorly named article about the Plasma DE itself, not the actual [alpha] distro. baaaah! 🙄🤦♀️

#mozilla #firefox 148.0 ('firefox-latest' package) moved to #sparkylinux repos
after a coupla months running my main panel / dock at the top of the screen, to get reacquainted with the boring existence of the dirty proles, i have now returned it to the rhs edge of the screen, just as #TheGreatProphetZarquon intended 🤪 🙃

yesterday arvo my once-beloved ArchLinux Plasma primary-boot once more summarily froze solid again [even ignoring REISUB again], as has been happening now randomly for many months or maybe a year'ish, after years & years & years of never doing so. as i was planning on still doing my weekly updates on sunday, it meant it still only has Plasma 6.5.5, not 6.6.0. anyway, in my increasing dotage & senility, i have grown disinterested over the past 18 months in needing to still do the occasional forensic troubleshooting & finessing of Olden Days Of Yore... plus, this latest freeze, ipso facto the complete disjuncture to my work in hand til that point, infuriated me completely, sufficient to reboot into my tertiary-boot, Fedora Kinoite, & keep going with what i was doing there... after first running updates on it then rebooting again.
accordingly, credit to the marvellous Fedora Plasma Devs & Maintainers, it now runs Plasma 6.6.0 too. one of the things i was keen to try was the new #Spectacle, with its #OCR text extraction tool. this works ootb, not needing me to fart about manually installing #tesseract as i have been reading needs to happen in other distros. so that's pretty lovely, however, not at all lovely, & indeed triggering a bout of out-loud swearing by me, was this discovery... it uses Merkan English, not proper english, ie, pommie or strayan. oh yuck, i feel so dirty now. merkan is to english as magamoron is to decency, morality, ethics, education, empathy, kindness, compassion...

Due to reported issues with password length and strength in Calamares, the libquality option has been disabled; as of now (20260218), Calamares accepts even 1-character passwords. To take advantage of this, update the calamares package in Sparky 8 or 9 in a live session, before running Calamares #linux #debian #sparkylinux
