Gear up at #oSC25! Brand-new #openSUSE merch will be available in person at the #conference in Nuremberg! #Leap, #Tumbleweed, #Aeon, #Kalpa, #Slowroll & more! https://news.opensuse.org/2025/05/06/get-gear-at-osc/
Doing a thing, evaluating whether #homebrew is a good fit for how I use #Kalpa so I put together a blog post about how to do it, if other Kalpa users want to try it out:

Olen ollut Helsingissä kirjoilla 23 vuotta, mutta edelleen olen sydämeltäni kuopiolainen.
Olipa hienoa jääkiekkoa ja upea voitto KalPalta! Ja miten siistiä, että tää ratkaistiin kahden itäsuomalaisen joukkueen kesken.
En todellakaan ole mikään ykkösfani ja nyt olen ensimmäistä kertaa maksanut siitä, että näen jääkiekkoa striimistä. Tää fanitus on yhtä aikaa sekä järjetöntä että hauskaa
An EU proposal to build a new OS for the public service based on Linux: https://www.theregister.com/2025/03/25/eu_os_free_govt_desktop/ #Linux #Fedora #KDE #Kalpa
Why pay for a 30-day trial OS? With #openSUSE, there's no license key, no activation, no restrictions; just freedom! Install #Leap, #Tumbleweed, #Aeon, #Kalpa or #Slowroll today #EndofWindows10 #UpgradetoFreedom https://news.opensuse.org/2025/03/21/choose-freedom-not-trailware/
@kalpa Hello, pls can you advise how to resolve this error? Though the update [via sudo transactional-update dup && flatpak update
] did proceed after it, eventually it failed with the further error per the second codebox.
Checking for newer version.

@sizeofvoid KDE Plasma is effectively a rolling DE. Using it on a stale library base is illogical [hence, eg, Neon's constant litany of breakages].
Best Plasma UX only comes from rolling distros, eg:
#opensuse #kalpa für meinen Vater ist eine sehr feine Installation geworden. Bin gespannt, wie es sich bewährt. Glaube wird gut.
Werde in der Zwischenzeit gleiche Konfiguration für meine Tante vornehmen.
Mir gefällt vor allem, wie schlank das System ist. Im Grunde nur #firefox und noch ein paar "Hilfsprogramme" (Konsole, KDE-Einstellungen, usw.)
Sowas in #hyprland wäre gail!
Folks have often asked how they can help the project, I've got a relatively easy one here.
With our new website, we've already had @karlggestd start working on Spanish translations.
We'd certainly welcome the same for other languages, if you've got the time, having a look at Karl's work https://codeberg.org/SFaulken/kalpadesktopsite/pulls/3 it shouldn't be too hard to figure out.
You can stop by the #Kalpa matrix chat, if you have questions: https://matrix.to/#/#kalpa:opensuse.org
So we've finally got the beginnings of a #Kalpa specific website up and running.
It's very barebones at present, but there will be more to come.
During this morning's shower, wherein as usual i solved numerous global problems but forgot them all by the time i was out, one decision did manage to linger.
Next time i am minded to fetch my lappy outta the cupboard, i'm going to convert it from #dualboot #Fedora #KDE + #MXLinux #Cinnamon, to Fedora KDE + #openSUSE #Kalpa.
:opensuse:
Woo. #Kalpa schwag. If you happen to be attending #SCaLE https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/22x this year, and want one of these, I'll have a limited number with me, they're 6" x 6".
You'll just have to *find* me and ask for them (There will be some other smaller ones at the openSUSE booth), I'll probably be between the #openSUSE, #Fedora, and #ublue camps if I'm out wandering.
I'd suspect I'll be the only guy with a Kalpa logo Shirt, but who knows.
