Welcome Linux furson :P

FYI for whoever is reading this: it wasn’t just a theme, but a Global Theme: it can include a Plasma Style, a color scheme, an icon theme, a panel layout template, an SDDM theme, wallpapers and widgets. Widgets are capable of running arbitrary code, just like GNOME extensions.

Here’s the response article from one of our main developers: http://blog.davidedmundson.co.uk/blog/kde-store-content/

In the short term we need to communicate clearly what security expectations Plasma users should have for extensions they download into their desktops.

We need to improve the balance of accessing third party content that allows creators to share and have users to get this content easily, with enough speed-bumps and checks that everyone knows what risks are involved.

Longer term we need to progress on two avenues. We need to make sure we separate the “safe” content, where it is just metadata and content, from the “unsafe” content with scriptable content.

Then we can look at providing curation and auditing as part of the store process in combination with slowly improving sandbox support.

Heh, I was expecting it to run on Wayland and I was not disappointed. Nice.

Correct. The requirements are:

• put a link to the community anywhere in a Mastodon toot and a post is automatically generated on Lemmy
• the first line becomes the title/headline
• additionally, a recent change in Lemmy removed Markdown formatting from headlines, so instances that are sufficiently up-to-date will have links and hashtags show up as literal text instead of links: https://pawb.social/comment/1624631

Stay with one of the big boys: Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, then you’re golden. For NVIDIA users I guess I’d still recommend something Ubuntu based: Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Pop_OS!, etc because the drivers can be preinstalled.

On Fedora you need to install the NVIDIA drivers from rpmfusion, and on openSUSE you need an additional repo. It’s an extra step, but otherwise I’d strongly recommend one of these two.
