I got an email on Tuesday from the FSF that today was I love free software day, so I decided to make some art in appreciation of a community responsible for creating and maintaining so many wonderful programs! Thank you dearly to KDE for all that you do. As an artist, I use Krita so often for all sorts of things, and I am so grateful it exists.
I could gush about a number of projects under your wing, but to keep this short, you empower people like me to have a freer digital world in so many ways. I appreciate you!

Hi!
I posted this on reddit and then saw that kde has a lemmy presence, so I am posting it here also, since I vastly prefer lemmy over reddit.:
Sorry if this isn't the right place, but I have no idea where else to ask, I tried asking at discuss.kde.org but got no answers.
I am using Arch with KDE Plasma and an Nvidia GPU, when I play Steam games almost all of them work flawlessly but...
When I try to play older games (like Shadowrun Hong Kong or the rereleases of Sims 1 and 2, or Civ 4 or 5), the graphics are all scrambled like this:
Scrambled
The funny thing is, this is a photo of my screen, if I use Steam to take a screenshot it shows up normally in the screenshot folder...
Screenshot
As it only happens on old games I am thinking those do something different than newer games, it doesn't matter what proton version I use and it only seems to happen under plasma.
Any help would be appreciated!
The final report of our fundraiser is out. Check out all that was done thanks to your contributions. 💙
Stay tuned for more soon!

KStars, KDE's full-featured app for #astronomy aficionados, releases version 3.7.5.
Although mainly a bugfix version, KStars v3.7.5 boasts a couple of interesting new features, like the dome slit visualization on sky map, video sequence capture, and enhanced scheduler loading and settings management.
If you are curious about the universe you live in or are into astrophotography, get KStars now.

Searched for a few weeks and could not find any solid solution. Found a KDE thread that said it was a issue with flatpak but I don't even have flatpak installed. Others say it's Wayland, Do non KDE users on wayland get this too?
I know it's for security but it's too damned annoying to be worth it! Should I setup a tiling WM and be done with it? It really is that bad.
All I want to do is play Skyrim without seeing this every 15 minutes!
This Week in Plasma: crisper screenshots, better context menus, improved mnemonics, right-handed panels, and more.
