I’m not sure if this is even contentious anymore but I really like

My use case is having a “split tunnel” vpn where I use dnsmasq managed by nm to resolve specific domains to a specific nm connection. Then set static routes for the vpn net and then set route weight for the public interface to be above the vpn interface.

None of this is super complex but managing it all with nm makes it easy to port to other machines and manage in general.

Recently moved an old laptop from Pop_OS to Fedora 42, and it is a surprising difference. Battery life especially, but lots of other little QoL type things. Pop_OS wasn't really a a problem, per se, and I am certainly looking forward to when their new Cosmic DE is ready for prime time! But, the latest Fedora and Gnome are really well done - the level of "just works" is seriously impressive.

So we all have used Windows, right. I have a Digital license for both that are tied to my account. But we all have paid for it and I'm sick of the choices that Microsoft has made. Microsoft: "Yeah let's bake in Ads and USELESS AI in the product our users pay for"

yeah I won't be using that. I still love Windows deep down, but that's Windows 10. Too bad it's not getting supported unless you pay for ESU. I'm gonna use Linux on PCs in the future.

In my opinion: Fuck Microsoft and Win11.

Nitrux drops the Plasma-based NX desktop for Hyprland, due to the discontinuation of Plasma LTS released:

(It's a bit weird choice that they ditched a full DE for a standalone compositor, which is tiling in fact, and requires editing some config files manually, not sure if DE users want that.)

Adaptado ya a Sans, la verdad es que Cantarell se ve horrible, sobre todo si utilizas reescalado.

I have to do basic annotations on screenshots quite often.

Giving this tool a try. So far really impressed! Could be my new goto.

I'd love to have #Firefox tab names in the #KDE / #KDEneon #Plasma per-app #audio volume control - i need to be able to identify them, by more than just the moving peak indicator bar.

edit: that's possible on #Ubuntu / #Gnome, already - it doesn't seem to be a Firefox kinda issue.

Please keep the other current behaviour; when i mute one, all subsequent streams of the same app will be auto-muted as well.
