Release notes for GIMP 3.0

@mousebot @publicvoit emacs-libvterm is another one that usually requires a full rebuild after emacs updates
@publicvoit I had some breakages as well and had to completely nuke my packages and the Straight cache dir and recompile everything. Also had to customize the straight-built-in-pseudo-packages variable to stop it from pulling in external versions of eglot and org

KDE Plasma 6 is so unbelievably buggy, lol

I decide to report a bug in Kate, and while doing so, I accidentally discovered a bug in Spectacle (KDE's screenshot tool) 😂

Built myself a new desktop PC, it loads my Emacs configuration literally 10 times faster than my cranky old laptop 🤔 Both are using NVMe storage exclusively

Here is my new GNU/Linux distribution guide about Debian KDE 12, the right GNU/Linux distribution for professional digital painting in 2024! Also about three major problems with GNU/Linux distros that will drive away all professional artists, IMO, and how I got kicked out of the Fedora KDE ecosystem with F40, which imposed Plasma6 and Wayland. I hope it helps other artists here!

@jnodesu @davidrevoy the fact that color management in Wayland is "close" offers little comfort to people who need to get things done _now_ ;)
@davidrevoy David, thank you for the excellent article. You don't have to integrate AppImages into the system manually, there are tools for that. I recommend Gear Lever (available as a Flatpack).
