  1. #Tuxedo switches for #TuxedoOS from #Ubuntu to #Debian. Similar reasons why I swtiched from #Xubuntu to #DebianStable:
    tuxedocomputers.com/en/A-new-f

    Unfortunately, Tuxedo chose the IMO most problematic Debian flavor: #DebianTesting.

    @gnulinux asked Tuxedo how they are going to handle the #security issues because of delayed or missing security patches:
    gnulinux.ch/tuxedo-os-wechselt (German)

    In short: Tuxedo is monitoring security patches released by others and maybe chooses to publish the corresponding unstable package in their repository if necessary.

    However, this means that they add manual effort by Tuxedo as well as a delay to the overall process so that users of TuxedoOS get patches not as fast as with Ubuntu or Debian stable/unstable.

    Let's see how that goes.

  5. With #TuxedoOS switching to a #DebianTesting base, I'm switching to #DebianStable with @kde . Reasons:

    - #Debian says, "If you want to have a secure (and stable) server you are strongly encouraged to stay with stable." debian.org/security/faq#testing
    - downstream distros are often delayed in patching/upgrades
    - other upstream distros are corporately-driven, US-based, or both
    - I stick with beginner-friendly distros to make supporting friends/family with their installs easier
    - I love #KDE

  11. #DebianTesting Abril 14, 2026. #KDE

    Aunque ayer en la noche hubo otra actualización que me borró una bola de paquetes ya no necesarios, y parece que actualizó de #plasma 6.5.3 a 6.5.4. Creo.

  13. Old KDE / Qt apps like kaffeine, DVBcut or avidemux behaving badly under #Wayland? Just ask for #X11 compatibility! 🥳

    Instead of

    'Exec=some_app'

    change it to

    'Exec=env QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb some_app'

    in the corresponding '*.desktop' file under '/usr/share/applications/'.

    Too hot? Not keen on messing with system files? No problem either! Just copy the relevant files over to '~/.local/share/applications/' first and edit 'em there. Might be the cleaner approach anyway, as these will be entirely yours to keep and are supposed to overrule whatever the system files say... 😇

    Changes not showing? App vanished from the App menu? Don't despair! Just switch the Gnome App menu extension off and back on again for your changes to take effect. 👍

    (Only where X11 compatibility mode is needed, of course. No point changing it if the App already runs flawlessly under Wayland 'as is', but many old Apps simply don't and some likely never will - some due to utter lack of maintenance upstream.)
