I've been trialling #KDE #Plasma6 on #Debian #Trixie on a spare laptop to see how it is, leading up to when #Trixie will be released later this year.

Accepting #Trixie is still being developed, for the most part, I found it okay, but not exceptional. There were the odd unexplained issues, which may or may not be bugs.

At this point, I think I will stick with #XFCE for another iteration of #Debian #Stable when the time comes to upgrade from #Bookworm to #trixie

#XFCE has been my DE for many years now, and it just works and is stable at all times. Sure, it isn't flashy and doesn't support some newer technologies, but that aside, it fits the model I want to operate my DE. So I'll stay with tried-and-trusted #XFCE and every so often I'll test out #KDE in a VM or spare laptop and see if it is good enough to be a daily driver where stability matters most.

Apparently today is #WorldBookDay (why am I always late to these parties?)!

My #photography has been almost entirely self-taught, and most of that has come through reading books on the subject. I was a bookworm before I was a photographer, after all.

#Creatives, what's one book that has had the largest impact on your work? Let me know in the comments! Mine was Understanding Exposure (and others in his series) by Brian Peterson

A stack of books about photography sits in the foreground, with another stack behind. Slightly out-of focus in the background, we see a portion of a woman sitting cross-legged on the floor, surrounded by the books, turning the page of the book she is reading.

👍 Listened to the full cast audio with comfy headphone headband. I enjoyed following the story and unraveling the mystery. The book gave me Gathering Blue vibes. I saw the twist coming a mile away but the why kept me invested.

👎 This is totally on me, but I was expecting something more magical and so my expectations weren’t met with the ending.

📚 “And that’s part of our trouble. Thinking things inevitable. Not believing change is possible.”

👍 A little late to the game on this one bit this book did what I wanted it to do. It gives depth and humanity to a previously flat character. Haymich is not the hero you want to root for if you knew him from Katniss’ journey, but knowing his story is something I have wanted for years. You know how it will start, you know how it will end, but the journey along the way will inspire you to think what makes a good man, what makes love worth fighting for, and most importantly how many sparks does it take to fan into a flame?

When editing the next book needs a little extra caffeine…. 😂

I may have gone overboard during the Easter weekend, but Alex & Irina's story demands to be released in the world, so 💪 here’s to being productive!

This will be the fifth book in my vampire romance series Lost Royals Of Transylvania. If you're into vamps, suspenseful plot twists and deliciously spicy romances, grab a copy of Book 1, Immortal Illusion, and catch up with the series: https://www.amazon.com/Immortal-Illusion-Transylvanian-Vampire-Transylvania-ebook/dp/B08KSS4Y4L

(It's also available on Kindle Unlimited 😜)
