My new blog post is now up!
You can contribute to KDE with non-C++ code
I always see:
- people being told they can contribute to KDE with C++/QML
- people being told they can contribute to KDE without code
But I don't often see:
- people being told that they can contribute to KDE with code that is not C++
I like C++, QML, and even CMake, but you might not be interested in them or you might just not be willing to spend time learning another language, and that's perfectly fine.
In this blog post I list a few KDE projects that you might not know about that might be written in your preferred language or in a specialized format you have expertise or interest in.
By far, the most popular programming language actively used in KDE other than the expected languages is Python.
We also have stuff that would interest sysadmins (containers), packagers (snap/flatpak) and web developers.

You can contribute to KDE with non-C++ code
Not everything made by KDE uses C++. This is probably obvious to some people, but itโs worth mentioning nevertheless. And I donโt mean this as just โwell duh, KDE uses QtQuick which is written with C++ and QMLโ.rabbitictranslator.com
Krita is a powerful, free, and open-source raster graphics editor designed primarily for digital painting and 2D animation. The things Krita can do in the hands of a creative artist is magical.

Has anyone else seen the bug in #KDE where you can drag one window over from one screen to another, and it will end up showing something on your screen from earlier?
Example, I have Chome open and begin dragging Discord over and instantly an old Instagram DM half-appears that I sent earlier. That tab was closed a while ago. Why is it appearing?
I've seen it a few times, seems like a big privacy issue too. Imagine if it showed up something....fun, you had earlier. #Linux @kde

If Fedora 40 had a headlining change, it might be @kde Plasma 6. The KDE SIG have brought over all the hard work from that community to give you a solid desktop experience from day 1.
We're also pushing technology forward by making this release Wayland-only, though X11 apps will still work!
Plasma 6 is also available for our Kinoite users.

Brief description of the new features and enhancements in Fedora KDE 40.Joseph Gayoso (Fedora Project)
ignoring state files, it's usually a mess for WM without DE.
Many Linux/WM developers don't follow convention over configuration...
I recently tried #hyprland, which is currently the only WM/DE in stable #NixOS with wayland fractional scaling support.
And, I spent so much time to get just some bar/panel working, that was ugly and very limited in functionality compared to #GNOME shell (I used before.- very nice) or KDE, or XFCE.
I ended up switching to #KDE and NixOS unstable.
