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.

I've switched to kde-unstable as soon as it was updated, and am quite happy to say, it's been really damn solid. The only issue I've experienced was that Firefox somehow does not support explicit sync, and crashes the parent process of the broken tab near instantly

Sadly not so much for me. Minimize/maximize animation stutters, mouse stutters if explicit sync is enabled (unrelated to min/maximizing, had to disable it), some windows dont maximize to the right size and hovering taskbar overlaps. I'll have to look into it and maybe open bugs. Only used 6.1beta for a few hours so far

Thanks for sharing, wasn't aware of this channel yet. A lot of very relevant videos for me to watch forward 😊

I've noticed a few minor bugs, but nothing major. Overall a solid update. Explicit sync working perfectly.
