No Zsh support for now, and maybe no user fonts?
And a warning: it's got telemetry on by default.

PSA: As is commonly recommended, watch the director's cut if you can, especially if it's your first time. The main difference is that the regular release has a voice over in the beginning explaining a lot (too much).

*Permanently Deleted*
EDIT: I was thinking of a different distro than OP's
I think I know which distro you reference (are we keeping it a secret for good reason?). If it's the one I'm thinking of, I've also reached out to admins about toxic messaging in the forums, and the response was hostile, dismissive, and disappointing.
Unfortunately, despite being interested in some technical aspects of the distro, I doubt the sanity of some of the team, and don't want to deal with their hostility either.

Telegram Reportedly "Ready to Fight Piracy" According to Govt. Official * TorrentFreak
So far, this isn't much of anything.
Telegram already closes public channels reported for copyright violations.
Some excerpts from this post:
Compared to other platforms, we do not see the seriousness of Telegram to cooperate.
. . .
In May 2023, progress appeared to be going in the wrong direction. Telegram was reportedly refusing to cooperate with the Ministry of Communications and Digital on the basis it did not wish to participate in any form of politically-related censorship.
. . .
With no obviously public comment from Telegram on the matter, it’s hard to say how the social platform views its end of what appears to be an informal agreement.
Telegram will be acutely aware, however, that whatever it gives, others will demand too. That may ultimately limit Telegram’s response, whatever it may be, whenever it arrives – if it even arrives at all.

best linux terminal emulator
For me: Wezterm. It does pretty much everything. I don't think Alacritty/Kitty etc. offer anything over it for my usage, and the developer is a pleasure to engage with.
Second place is Konsole -- it does a lot, is easy to configure, and obviously integrates nicely with KDE apps.
Honorable mention is Extraterm, which has been working on cool features for a long time, and is now Qt based.

Apparently it goes toward sending customers "Liberal Moron" shirts instead of their requested designs, and also illegally underpaying employees. So... I doubt it.

Absolutely unaccountable. Is that different where you are?

Arch Linux-Based SystemRescue 11 Toolkit Released: Here's What's New | Linux...
A good live recovery distro that can mount bcachefs is one thing I've been waiting for before using that filesystem for a new install.
That this will have Arch tools (including arch-chroot, probably) makes this even better.

Why is jdownloader not available in most software managers?
It's unmatched for some of the things it does and sites it supports, but I think it's a nightmare for any distro or package maintainer. It wants to manage its own installation and updates, at the user level, pulling in who knows what code or binaries.
I think that makes it mechanically hard to handle, verify, or trust.

Since you ask (why not?), check the current top comment. I didn't know about it until today.

Welcome to v0.19.1! New features guide
Woohoo! You didn't even mention: code blocks no longer mangle ampersands and less-than symbols!
Anyway it looks great and is a much appreciated feature, thank you!

It would be nice to have curtains that absorb street noise.
Is the idea to have the window open while reducing noise? Otherwise, wouldn't it make more sense to replace the window glass?

This week in KDE: looking forward towards Plasma 6.1
The Power and Battery widget now responds to middle-clicks and scrolls: middle-click will block or re-enable automatic sleep and screen locking, and scrolling will change the active power profile
Scrolling on the battery applet is how I adjust my brightness. Is that no longer a thing?

On the off chance that you truly don't understand:
The nice thing to do would be to accept the feedback and add a short description. It's confusing to others why you are staunchly opposed to performing that small courtesy, and instead jump to never posting here again.

Rectangle for Linux?

I'll just second the suggestion that KDE Plasma is worth a try, as it's very adaptable once you know what you want. You don't need to install any addons for the functionality you describe, just open the Shortcuts settings, KWin category, and have at it.

What God or Goddess would personify Testing?
Not quite a god but
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphinx
In Greek tradition, the sphinx is a treacherous and merciless being with the head of a woman, the haunches of a lion, and the wings of a bird. According to Greek myth, she challenges those who encounter her to answer a riddle, and kills and eats them when they fail to do so.
The word sphinx comes from the Greek Σφίγξ, associated by folk etymology with the verb σφίγγω (sphíngō), meaning "to squeeze", "to tighten up".
