really enjoying recent / ongoing nice little enhancements in my :firefoxnightly: 💜️

#AltText
snippet of firefox nightly context menu after right-clicking on a tab in the native vertical tabbar, yellow-highlighting some nice recent enhancements, including ability to split tab views, add notes to tab, reopen tab in alternative containers [this one not new, but no chromium browser has it, so still noteworthy], & the main one focused being at last [given vivaldi has had this for many years] the ability to move the focused tab to any of the user's other Profiles

@mrcopilot i really like #kdelinux . have it in a few VMs, & for a few weeks also had it installed to SSD as my third-boot that i used daily. eventually replaced it with #kinoite coz there's some stuff i need to layer [don't work well in a #distrobox or as #flatpak]. also, i need to be able to manually partition. however i fervently hope that by the beta it might be further advanced enough in those areas that i could reinstall it.

KDE Linux is the purest form of Plasma I've tested - but the install isn't for the meek

Linux distros present KDE Plasma with a version customized for that particular OS. KDE Linux offers the purest version.

KDE Apr 4

"This Month in #KDELinux" brings the news that...

You should never deploy alpha software in production machines 😬! A systemd bug broke booting an updated system, a systemd update broke Discover, but the good news is everything has been sorted and hardened now.

On the plus side, KDE Linux users get friendlier feedback, better connectivity with Apple devices, and improved multi-language support.

i do exasperate myself sometimes with my changing sensibilities wrt my preferred #font. i keep toggling twixt #RobotoCondensed, and #NimbusSansNarrow . For the past several weeks i'd set it to the latter, but after a few [or several?] days of dissatisfaction with it, i've now toggled back to the former... yet again. based on history it seems inevitable that in another coupla months i'll likely jump back again.

otoh in #Plasma itself, i do seem reasonably settled with #NotoSansExtraCondensed -- this seems generally to survive much longer before i feel the urge to change it, compared to in my browser.

damn dopey dropbear! 🙄🤦‍♀️
