KDE’s Panel Vacuum
I’m quite amazed by how technologies which I used to discard as ‘hype’ (like, Solid or Phonon or so) actually seem to work. For real. Maybe I should feel a bit of shame but I don’t since this reflex of being sceptical of projects which have a fancy code name but not visible code base has proven quite useful in the past - helps to avoid working on vapourware.
Anyway, one of the KDE features of which I didn’t see anything other than mockups yet is KDE’s new panel framework thing dubbed Plasma. I was aware of the fancy web page for some time now (now that I view that page again - what the heck is ‘Appeal’? appeal.kde.org redirects to www.kde.org - is that an omen already?) but still, I didn’t actually *see* it yet. Of course, it’s listed as some integral part of the KDE4 architecture, but that’s pretty much all the information I could get out of KDE’s tech base regarding Plasma.
Okay, not quite.
Well, I’m not trying to be a naysayer here but I think that the situation around Plasma is kind of… shady.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
