       “One way to achieve the desired level of integration is to control the entire software stack, right down to the operating system … on a new technologically advanced operating system tentatively named ‘KDE Linux’”This. Finally. Yes.👆And, hopefully, folks like @starlabssystems can take this further and add hardware to the stack: e.g., The StarBook is designed for KDE Linux. You can run any distribution on it but everything works 100% on its default OS. https://floss.social/@akademy/113123668949310341

       @starlabssystems The only way Linux-based devices will compete successfully with the mainstream devices used by everyday people who use technology as an everyday thing is if there are organisations that step up and accept responsibility for the whole *experience*. We need a “the buck stops here” approach to free and open source instead of “it’s an upstream issue” approach. And device manufacturers like StarLabs are the natural place for this.#foss #design #experience #SmallTech

       @overanalytcl @system76 Yep. But after recent interactions and how they responded to me calling out the lack of a fully functional screen reader in the major Linux distributions, I’d rather not have anything to do with them.https://ar.al/2024/06/23/fedora-has-been-shipping-with-a-broken-screen-reader-for-nine-years-but-the-real-problem-is-me/

       @aral @starlabssystems  This device reveal at Akademy between the collaboration between @kde and Slimbook seems also a great devices for KDE.https://slimbook.com/en/blog/news-1/post/new-kde-slimbook-vi-421
