I'm amazed by the level of polish overall, I've encountered very little jankiness that used to be super common with Plasma when I last tried it. Plasma feels like a really mature desktop now, which is awesome. I'm running Plasma 6.2 at the moment, and I think 6.3 is right around the corner as well.

My problems so far are more subjective. Gnome may be a very opinionated desktop, but I happen to agree with most of its opinions. Gnome's workspaces feature is miles better than Plasma's virtual desktops, which feel tacked on in comparison. I'm still trying to tinker with this to make it work for me, but honestly this seems like the thing that will push me back to Gnome if I don't find a workflow I like.

KDE obviously has more features overall though, HDR support happens to be the one that I'm interested in at the moment since I've been toying with the idea of buying a new monitor.

Ironically most of my customization so far has been to make it more like Gnome lmao

Still trying to figure out how to make workspaces/virtual desktops more...usable.

Overall though it's amazing how solid Plasma is now, it sure as hell isn't the buggy mess it used to be in the earlier Plasma 5 days.

One of my clients at work has this IT guy with a furry profile picture on Zoom.

I assumed it was a mistake, people join with dumb pictures/names sometimes, but no. He never changed it in any of our meetings.

And then I looked at his account in our software, which allows users to upload their own photo, and he put a different furry picture there. A strictly work related account, that only his coworkers and us can see.

And you know what, I respect it.

I also do this with word definitions all the time.

The biggest problem to me was the official Proton reddit account making an official statement agreeing with Andy. Andy blamed this on a "miscommunication" and it has since been deleted, but probably only because of the backlash they were receiving.

Holy shit he's still arguing with people about this today?

I started using FreshRSS around the same time Reddit killed their API, it has rapidly become one of my favorite self-hosted apps.

Also,

open source software releases I follow

You have just taught me that I can add github release pages to my feed, I love FreshRSS even more now.

Mostly games that don't fit into an existing category that I don't feel like creating a dedicated category for. Like I could create a stealth category for Thief and Hitman, but it would only contain those two games. Then there's games like Transistor, Cloudpunk, Spiritfarer, etc where I just don't know how I could even categorize them.

Ubuntu in Nobody (slightly nsfw), great movie too.

It checks all the boxes. Pinging some random IP, checking their python version, installing pip updates, the output of ls -l /etc, all in a virtualbox VM. Clearly a professional hacker. /s

The extent of my Digimon knowledge is this animation and OP's image.

Do... Do digimon just transform into women? is that an actual thing in the show?

I will not google this question.

I mean, if you've already paid for the games in the past, and you're going totally DRM free anyway... I feel like you're morally all good to go sailing.

I avoid early access in general, so I've only ended up with a handful from game bundles.

Very much intentional since I don't own a headset at the moment. If I ever get one again, I'll give the category an emoji to push it back towards the top lol

One of my favorites, I can't wait for the sequel

Let me know how Severed Steel is

It got stuck in backlog hell for a while, just finished it today. It's great!

A lot of these games are pretty short and playing on my Steam Deck during lunch breaks at work is responsible for several completions. I also basically never play online multiplayer games.

Shorter games is the biggest factor though. Just for fun I combined my time in To the Moon, Parking Garage Rally Circuit, Jusant, Sprawl, Toem, ExoOne, Ghostrunner 2, Loddlenaut, Unpacking, Lunistice, Up left out, Naboki, Hook 2, and Inside, and the total number of hours it took to beat all of those was 37.

I'm guessing you probably have more than 37 hours in your favorite online game this year, I just spend my hours on different games lol

Corn Kidz 64 looks super fun, I will definitely be picking that up!

lol when I was reviewing my HLTB log for this post, I had the same thought. "I did all that this year?!" The benefit of mostly playing shorter games, I suppose.

Sea of Stars has been on my radar for a while. I'm not huge on turn-based combat, but it looks so good!

Finally picked up the Cyberpunk DLC. Got Pacific Drive as well.

Still deciding on:

Dead Cells - I found two roguelites I actually like this year (Dome Keeper and Hades) and want to see if I can go three for three.

Dragons Dogma and Stalker - Games with recent sequels I've never touched. For $5/piece I'm tempted to give both a try.

Dying Light 2 - Been in the mood for some dumb open world fun recently, and I refuse to buy anything from Ubisoft to fill that void. This seems decent and I liked the first one.

Same here. I really enjoy Nonagon Infinity but haven't been able to get into any other album of theirs.
