From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

KDE Gear ⚙️ 23.08 is dedicated to our good friend Dani Gutiérrez Porset. Dani was a generous and militant Free Software activist that organised many KDE-related events, including the Akademy of 2013.

Dani left us for thee great big server in the sky on the 16th of July. Goian bego.

So many good changes. KDE has been improving so much lately, can't wait for Plasma 6!

Mekuro will be interesting when they integrate email in it. And Elisa is already a great music player that I use for my local collection.
