A quick look at the #PantherX Desktop: Here we've got the Menu with global search that can dig into PDF's and other documents, Hub with all online accounts and recent messages and of course System - at the top, right - with clear connection information; supporting all modern standards, including special cases such as OpenVPN with stunnel.

Another year, another update: We are getting close

When you’re working on something you enjoy, hours become days, days become weeks and before you realize it, an entire year has passed, and all that you’ve got to show is … well, that’s the big question, isn’t it?

If you're interested in the Twisted networking protocol, this is by far the best introduction: https://krondo.com/an-introduction-to-asynchronous-programming-and-twisted/. You won't even notice that this was written 13! years ago.

A quick search on Google reveals that there's approx. 2,195 commercial bank branches / 100,000 people. Let's just assume, that there's an equal amount of ATM machines.

I wonder what the collective energy usage of millions of bank branches and ATM's, and keeping those ATM's stocked with money, add up to?

Not to talk about the brainpower wasted on misleading customers, manipulation of markets and lobbying politicians to keep their eyes closed...

How does that compare with "crypto"?

Do you see any screen tearing / flickering on the latest Linux kernel 5.15.*, on any distribution? You can check your version with `uname -a`. Just curious how many % are affected.

PantherX desktop builds on LXQt and the 1.0.0 release of LXQt is available to all our users on "rolling" as of right now.

The LXQt desktop environment is available on virtually all Linux distributions and whatever you're running, I recommend you to give it a try: https://lxqt-project.org/release/2021/11/06/lxqt-1-0-0/.

For most distributions, it's yet another desktop, on PantherX, it's the only desktop - and get's all our attention.
