Kando will be a pie menu for the desktop. It will be highly customizable and will allow you to create your own menus and actions. For instance, you can use it to control your music player, to open your favorite websites or to simulate shortcuts.

It will be available for Windows, Linux and maybe macOS.

Ubuntu Budgie switches its approach to Wayland (www.theregister.com)

We met project lead David "Fossfreedom" Mohammed and packaging guru Sam Lane from the Ubuntu Budgie team in Rīga, and they passed on news of a rift – and indeed possible divorce – between Budgie and Enlightenment… and it's caused by Wayland.

While Enlightenment does have some Wayland support, in the project's own words this is "still considered experimental and not for regular end users."

Thus, the Budgie team has been evaluating options to move forward. XFCE are doing some really great work in this area with libxfce4windowing – a compatibility layer bridging Wayland and X11, allowing the move in a logical direction without needing a big-bang approach. To date, most of the current codebase has already been reworked and is ready for a Wayland-only approach without impacting further development and enhancements.

Plasma 6 looks to be shaping up quite nicely already! Some really nice quality of life style updates, and I'm quite shocked (though the reasoning makes sense) to see them moving to double-click actions by default instead of single-click.

SimpleColorPicker: A minimal color picker for Linux (github.com)

Hey all!

I made this color picker using PyQt5 mainly because I was missing a decent & minimal magnifying coloring picking tool. I've been quite pleased with it so far, so I thought I'd publish it on github for anyone that might be looking for the same thing I was.

Hope you like it :)
