The European Commission sees open-source software as more than an IT tool. Policy makers are encouraging open-source ecosystems to drive innovation, autonomy and collaboration in a world where global trade is being redrawn.
This trade dispute highlights something most open-source advocates have known for years: open source is freedom. It’s freedom from monopolies, freedom from arbitrary pricing, and freedom from foreign influence.
Is Slowroll as stable as Tumbleweed yet
I prefer LTS releases usually so Tumbleweed doesn’t suit me. Slowroll sounds doable but I see it’s still experimental. Is it as reliable as Tumbleweed?
Tumbleweed continues to showcase the strength of a well-maintained rolling release as we move through 2025. March delivered several snapshots and several imp...

Intermittent sound/microphone with Sony WX1000XM4
I have lots of trouble with my Sony XM1000XM4 headphones since the Plasma 6 update. I'm pretty sure the pipewire was updated to version 2 at the same time I pulled the KDE upgrade.
At first the issues were manageable, but annoying: If I switched from listening to music to headset mode to take a call in Google Meet, the microphone didn't work. If I switched to headphone mode and then back again to headset mode, the microphone worked again. I could continue using bluetooth with this workaround.
Recently, the situation has got much worse - I can't get the microphone to work at all, and the sound will also stop working randomly. My workaround now is to connect my headphones to the audio out of my laptop.
I've checked pipewire logs and the only things I saw were xrun
warnings, which I don't believe would break everything completely.
Does anyone have similar issues or debugging tips? I've tried Googling/Duck Duck Going this for months, and I've not found anyone with similar symptoms.
