Since Calamares 3.3, it has supported Qt 6, the toolkit used in KDE Plasma 6, which is expected in about a week's time. The latest edition removes support for older versions of Qt 5 except for the final 5.15 release. </p>Feb 23 08:08

schestowitz                                        <p>A few months ago, 52Pi reached out and asked if they could send a new water cooling kit they were working on for the Raspberry Pi 5.

schestowitz                    <p>These days, unless you know otherwise, you might as well start out by assuming that software is open-source. Even though you need to be absolutely certain before putting it into production or distributing it, in the 2020s software is as likely as not to be open-source as it is to be proprietary. Perhaps more likely than not.</p>Feb 23 09:39
schestowitz                    <p>For example, did you know that MoonRay the renderer that DreamWorks has had in production (and under constant development) since 2019’s How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World and Abominable, has been freely available as OpenMoonRay under the Apache 2 license for nearly a year now?
