Fedora is a community-driven project sponsored by Red Hat.
By writing news like "Red Hat presented Fedora KDE Edition" you do not just misrepresent the Fedora Project, you also undermine the effort of Fedora community members who did all the work to make KDE Spin into an Edition.
Please do recognize and give a credit to the community.
And if you have questions about Fedora governance, we are here - at discussion.fedoraproject.org, at release parties, on social networks, just ask
The new Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop Edition webpage, I made is online. Currently only the beta is released but the final release is afaik planned mid April.
I try to reach out to Donga (Thanomsub Noppaburana), our legendary Thai KDE localizer from the 2000s, via his public email address to let him know that the Thai localization effort has been revived. I hope he'll be pleased to hear about the renewed activity.
We recently had an online session for KDE Thai localization, where we discussed the guidelines, overall strategy, and provided a tutorial on how to use Lokalize.
Currently, our central hub for KDE Thai localization is Xerusion's repository, which can be found at https://github.com/Xerusion/kde-l10n-th.
And the room #kde-network-thailand:kde.org in Matrix.

In #KDE, can I somehow configure the way its built-in tiling of windows is working (when you push a window towards a screen corner)?
I put one of my screens in pivot and would like for windows not to be split 50% horizontally but 50% vertically.
The only option I can find for tiling is "(Yes / No) Windows dragged to the left or right edge", which is for 25% tiling.

Just out of curiosity: If you are using the numpad on your keyboard: do you prefer having numlock enabled?
I am asking because I want to understand if there is any UX merit to disabling the numlock after me enabling it to login which is the default behavior of either #kde, #nixos or #linux, I am not sure what exactly does that. Although I know nixos has options you can set to enable numlock by default.
(sorry, my instance only allows 4 options, so no "show results" option)

OH WOW huh.
I have #KDE Connect installed, which links your phone and Linux PC for controlling media, etc.
I also have a Firefox addon that gives KDE Connect more info about my browser activities.
But what I just realized this morning is pretty freaking cool:
When you're watching a video in Firefox, you can pause/resume it from the KDE Connect app. Plus, clicking the notification opens the same YouTube video on your phone... cool!
