Veo en #Distrowatch esta distro y me decido a bajarla porque es hecha en España, con base Devuan, trae el navegador #LibreWolf y parece estar hecha por personas conscientes de la importancia de la privacidad, seguridad, etc. Preferiría otros escritorios y esta trae #TrinityDesktop

Resulta que tiene opciones de la #Comunidad con #Cinnamon y con #Enlightenment
Al intentar bajar la que trae Cinnamon va lento y veo que son giga y mucho, así que cancelo la descarga. Decido bajar con #Transmission la ISO oficial con Trinity y sorpresa, pesa un poco más de 6 gigazos. Aún no quemé la ISO, espero que cumpla con lo que dicen de ella (que es liviana)

Successfully managed to get #TDE compiled for my #RaspberryPi 4 running #SlackwareAArch64. It's actually decently fast on the hardware, especially compared to regular KDE Plasma.

LINUX NEWS

KDE discontinues Plasma LTS releases, reduces feature update to 2 in a year instead of 3, offers extended bug-fix support period:
https://news.itsfoss.com/kde-plasma-lts-discontinued/
(Well done, KDE! In my experience, the biggest issue with Plasma has always been the amount of annoying bugs and crashes, which kind of negated the experience for me, despite the cool extra features and the extensive customization options. However, this new strategy might pay off in the long term, and make Plasma a more stable experience.)

Getting into localisation

I have recently made the decision to explore #localisation as a possible future career. I have begun contributing to the #translation of various #freeSoftware projects (especially #TrinityDesktop), both to help out and to build experience alongside a portfolio.

In the future, I'd love to get into #LocJam once it happens again, and perhaps help translate some #indieGames.

Translation and localisation are really quite fun, moreso than any other career opportunity I have been looking into to date! Watching the progress bar of "untranslated strings" slowy turn green is so satisfying.
If only there were job opportunities nearby already.
