"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! 🙄🤦♀️
