Here is a summary and links for each post:

Rival GPUs Share One Linux Desktop

The openSUSE News team profiles photographer Klaus Tröger, who recently migrated to the openSUSE Leap 16.1 beta. It talks about the use of Adobe and Photoshop in a Windows 11 virtual machine on a workstation. Performance is nearly native and the passthrough components can be cleanly isolated by IOMMU group.

Digital Sovereignty in the AI Era, New Event Organized by GNU/Linux València

The KDE Blog promotes a new event from the nonprofit association GNU/Linux València titled “Digital Sovereignty in the AI Era,” which takes place June 16 at the Universitat de València. Attendance is free, can be joined online and the session will offer concrete alternatives for regaining technological autonomy.

digiKam 9.1 Released, Making it Easier to Use

The KDE Blog covers the release of digiKam 9.1.0, which arrives after three months of active development focused on database migration, preview improvements, advanced search and general ease of use. The post also recaps the major features of digiKam 9.0 for readers who missed the previous release.

Welcome to the Icon Designer Webring!

Jakub revives a piece of 1990s internet culture. Inspired by Terry Godier’s essay “The Boring Internet,” the post argues that an older, slower, federated web built on open protocols still thrives beneath the commercial layer.

Thirty-Fourth Audio of Podcast Linux – “Maratón Linuxero Live” (Podcast Linux #34)

The KDE Blog continues its index of the now-paused Podcast Linux with episode 34. Host Juan Febles chats with four GNU/Linux veterans Gabriel Viso, Patricio García, Alejandro López and Roberto Ruisánchez about the early days of Linux. The conversation revisits the 1990s and early 2000s.

Kdenlive 26.04.2 Released

The KDE Blog announces the second maintenance release of the Kdenlive 26.04 series. The update fixes issues in rendering, timeline editing and project file management across AppImage and Flatpak packages, including a notable Windows fix that allows exporting videos to a network drive.

Everything Has a Price

Victorhck publishes a Spanish translation of Paul Brown’s dystopian short story “No Such Thing as a Free Lunch,” which is a cautionary tale about a future where every click, app launch and settings change carries a fee and free offerings are outlawed. The fiction follows Joe Bloggs through a world of mandatory hardware upgrades, surveillance AI that taxes productivity and brutal enforcement of software regulations. The story is free to read, which in the tale would be a felony.

Fixing All the Things – This Week in Plasma

The KDE Blog translates the latest “This Week in Plasma” report, which focuses on polishing Plasma 6.7 ahead of its release at the end of the month. Notable fixes include Spectacle’s clipboard behavior during OCR text extraction, low-battery notifications for connected devices appearing over fullscreen apps, and a crash fix when refreshing the list of nearby wireless networks.

Linux Saloon 205 | Open Mic Night

CubicleNate recaps episode 205 of the Linux Saloon podcast. Responding to viewer feedback, the panel shared what they like and dislike about their distributions of choice, covering Tumbleweed’s built-in Snapper rollback and overly aggressive default firewall, a panelist’s switch from GNOME to the Fedora 44 Plasma spin, and praise for MX Linux, CachyOS, Linux Mint and Bazzite, before agreeing to test the LibreWolf browser in an upcoming application appetizer segment.

BuildStream and KDE – New Barcelona Free Software Talk

The KDE Blog announces a new Barcelona Free Software talk taking place on Thursday, June 11 at Akasha Hub in Barcelona. Aleix Pol, president of KDE e.V., will present BuildStream, a powerful software integration tool used to build operating systems and all sorts of packages. Attendees will leave knowing how to build their own operating system and hopefully be ready to contribute to many more projects.

Tumbleweed – Review of the Week 2026/23

Victorhck and Dominique Leuenberger report that Tumbleweed kept rolling through a midweek European holiday with six snapshots published. Key updates included Mesa 26.1.1, Qt 6.11.1, GNOME 50.2, Pipewire 1.6.6, Samba 4.23.8 and 4.24.3, plus a Java packaging migration from update-alternatives to libalternatives. The staging dashboard predicts Linux kernel 7.0.11, KDE Plasma 6.7.0, a rework of Python3 packaging and GCC 16 as the system default compiler arriving soon.

Take it Easy. A Guide to Avoid Burnout During the Vulnpocalypse

Danigm offers open source maintainers a survival guide for the so-called Vulnpocalypse, which refers to the cybersecurity reckoning related to AI-generated security reporting. The post argues that 100 percent secure software doesn’t exist, that the deluge of dubious “high severity” reports is eroding CVE credibility, and that maintainers should learn to recognize and disarm manipulation tactics like queue flooding and gaslighting rather than burn themselves out chasing every cried wolf.

Second Update of KDE Gear 26.04

The KDE Blog highlights KDE Gear 26.04.2. The release resolves a good number of errors across applications, libraries and widgets, including a crash in Akregator on arm64, a startup crash in Skanlite via ksanecore, and a fix for Koko’s move-to-trash action overriding the editor’s delete actions.
