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.

Gnome extension on KDE? (lemdro.id)

I know the title sounds a little strange but hear me out. The time tracking software I use for work doesn’t work on Wayland, unless I’m using Gnome as my DE. They have an extension that allows it to work in this case. Personally, I don’t enjoy Gnome on my desktop (I use it on my laptop). Is there a way for me to get the functionality that this extension provides on KDE so that I can use Wayland on my desktop as well?

EDIT: I have included more files in the codeberg repo. I hope this helps.

I dont think they actually take screenshots, do they? That would be awfully inefficient. You can get the window titles in better ways.

the URL stuff should use a browser extension to tell them that name.

If that app really takes screenshots and extracts URLs from them, it is pretty overcomplex. But that improves platform-independence a lot

It takes screenshots that get posted to a user dashboard for management to check if needed.

I don't have anything useful to say but that sounds fixing dystopian.

I hope you leave easter eggs
