It worked! Thank you so much!

Not an expert programmer whatsoever, and it's been more than 15 years I've used Python for doing something GUI related (it was Python 2 and GTK+2...), but I do know you can do KDE stuff with Python right now. For example, there are Kirigami bindings for Python you can use to do a desktop/mobile app.

Still though I absolutely agree getting into C++ is a nightmare, to me is just a level behind Assembly and Brainfuck. I'd like to learn Rust and it'd be great to be able to contribute to KDE with it.

You can now place files in ~/Templates and they will appear as templates in the “Create New…” menu that appears in various places [...]

That's absolutely great! Last time I tried to put something to show up in those menus was a tricky process (and a bit frustrating, too, as I remembered at that time with Windows 98/XP it was easier than that) and in the next minor Plasma update they were gone, so never bothered again. It's like at least 10 years too late, but thankfully they remembered about that.

Pretty sure that's the kind of updates people would like to see more often

Never heard about °R and °RA before this meme

I installed Fedora on a 2015 MacBook pro. It works well, though the camera doesn't work and bt is bonky, to say the least - but I couldn't care less about that.

Thank you so much :) Hope to see it soon!

Hey, I've done a translation to spanish (sorry for the duped comment, I just found this thread), it's already in the weblate - though not sure if there's something missing from my part. It'd be great if you can include it to be available so I can see if there's something that needs to be fixed

Of course it's a good thing, but it's not something Gentoo is particuarly goot at it (nor any distro, that is) but its detractors claim Gentoo says is "lean on resources" only to "debunk" that.

And the myth that is "supercomplicated", but in the end the only "difficult" part is to install it - in the daily, pedestrian usage it's pretty much like any other (rolling release) distro. Well, of course except package installation/update times, but it's beyond to me why people created that false urgency of needing to have everything installed and updated the second you issued the command. It's not like you won't be able to use your computer at all while Portage does its thing.

Apparently you can use the USE FLAGS to determine what stuff you want and it's meant to be even more lean on resources.

True and false; the "something special" in Gentoo is that you can tailor it to fit to your needs, and as far as I know no other distro comes even close - maybe the now almost defuct Funtoo. The "it's more lean on resources" always seemed to me like a strawman people don't like it came up with to diss on Gentoo.

No need to thank me, I'd like to contribute by coding but I have no idea about Java/Kotlin/Dart/etc so... I hope you keep with it though - I'd try it again in the future to see how it's going and hopefully move to Ion. Again, the fact it its FOSS it's a big plus.

Not a fan of semi-serif fonts, and not digging the rounded "corners" on E and L (while having sharp ones in lowercase L and lowercase i), but it seems it is trying to be highly readable so indeed it should be great for UI stuff. And doing a complete typeface covering such huge character map is no easy job.
