The 1970s were a sweet spot in product design, especially in France, where makers were beginning to marry natural materials like wood with the new optimism of plastic.

Digital wall calendars take your online calendar-think your Google Calendar, the Calendar app on your iPhone, or your corporate Microsoft calendar account-and put it on a digital screen that you can mount on the wall or prop up on a stand on a countertop or table.

KDE Linux was created and is maintained by the KDE team.

What started in 2019 as a couple of utilities for things like window and shortcut management has gradually expanded to nearly 30 useful tools, including a keyboard shortcut creator, an image-to-text extractor, and a better search bar than the one that's built into Windows proper. PowerToys has become wildly popular among Windows power users, with more than 70 million downloads to date, but it's also completely free, with no ads, Office upsells, or ham-fisted Copilot integrations.

KDE Plasma is a remarkably customizable desktop environment. On top of being highly flexible, it's also fast and stable, so it would make perfect sense why you might want to migrate from Windows to a KDE Plasma-powered desktop distribution. But if you want to carry over the look and feel of Windows 11, how do you do that? With a bit of tweaking.

Currently, a Wayland compositor combines three primary functions into one. It must act as a display server, it must manage windows, and it must composite those windows together to be displayed on screen. The River project, which is about three years old now, splits this up. It's a display server and it's a compositor, but it doesn't do window management. Instead, it offers a documented window management protocol so that another, separate program can do the window management.
