GNOME 49.2 Released with Improved Handling of Tiled Monitors and Sticky Keys

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://9to5linux.com/gnome-49-2-released-with-improved-handling-of-tiled-monitors-and-sticky-keys

Common Desktop Environment comes back after 2 years with v2.5.3!

Two years after the last point release of Common Desktop Environment, a new point release has been released this year, bearing version 2.5.3. Unfortunately, it’s nothing major; just a subset of bug fixes that are mostly development-related, such as compiler warning fixes to reduce the clutter during the build process.

For those who like the old-school desktop UI that is similar to old HP-UX (Visual User Environment) and Solaris Unix systems, this one is for you. CDE 2.5.3 brings some of the big changes, such as support for more mouse buttons in dtwm.

Improvements were also made to the built-in terminal emulator, including fixes for copy and paste system. You can see the full commit logs here.

For the sake of reminding you of Visual User Environment, here’s the picture:

It was only a matter of time but it's nearly upon us - KDE Plasma with version 6.8 will be entirely dropping the X11 session to go full Wayland.

最近在找一個好用的 Linux 發行版，希望桌面介面和整體操作體驗盡量接近 macOS，日常使用起來順手又好看 🍏🐧
同時也要能穩定支援 xrdp，讓 Windows 這邊可以直接用內建遠端桌面連進去，不用再裝一堆額外工具 🖥️
有沒有人有實際在用、覺得不錯的發行版或桌面環境推薦？也歡迎順便分享你們的 xrdp 設定心得 🙏

－－－－－－
Looking for a Linux distro with a macOS‑like desktop experience – both UI and overall UX – so it feels smooth and pleasant to use every day 🍏🐧
It also needs to work reliably with xrdp, so I can connect directly from Windows using the built‑in Remote Desktop client without extra tools 🖥️
If you have any distro + desktop environment combos that work well, or xrdp setup tips, please share your experience 🙏

－－－－－－
macOS に近いデスクトップ UI と使い心地を持った、使いやすい Linux ディストリを探しています 🍏🐧
同時に xrdp にもしっかり対応していて、Windows の標準リモートデスクトップクライアントからそのまま Linux デスクトップに接続できる環境が理想です 🖥️
実際に使って良かったディストリやデスクトップ環境、xrdp 設定のコツなどがあれば、ぜひ教えてください 🙏
