Today marks both a milestone and a turning point in my journey with open source software. I’m proud to announce the release of KDE Gear 25.08.0 as my final snap package release. You can find all the details about this exciting update at the official KDE announcement. After much reflection and with a heavy heart, I’ve made the difficult decision to retire from most of my open source software work, including snap packaging. This wasn’t a choice I made lightly – it comes after months of...| Scarlett Gately Moore
I’m writing this review from my Kfocus laptop, and I’ve been thoroughly impressed with the entire experience. The setup is a breeze with the Kfocus wizard on first boot – it really takes the hassle out of getting everything configured properly. If you’re looking for a first-class Linux laptop, give Kfocus a look! It comes with a well-known, established Kubuntu desktop that includes the stability of Ubuntu and the awesomeness of KDE. This combination delivers both reliability and the f...| Scarlett Gately Moore
I write this in the wake of a personal attack against my work and a project that is near and dear to me. Instead of spreading vile rumors and hearsay, talk to me. I am not known to be ‘hard to talk to’ and am wide open for productive communication. I am disheartened and would like to share some thoughts of the importance of communication. Thanks for listening. Open source development thrives on collaboration, shared knowledge, and mutual respect. Yet sometimes, the very passion that drive...| Scarlett Gately Moore

I was just released from the hospital after a 3 day stay for my ( hopefully ) last surgery. There was concern with massive blood loss and low heart rate. I have stabilized and have come home. Unfortunately, they had to prescribe many medications this round and they are extremely expensive and used up all my funds. I need gas money to get to my post-op doctors appointments, and food would be cool. I would appreciate any help, even just a dollar!| Scarlett Gately Moore
Very busy releasetastic week! The versions being the same is a complete coincidence 😆 https://kde.org/announcements/gear/25.04.0 Which can be downloaded here: https://snapcraft.io/publisher/kde !
