Show-off my open-source stuff, mostly of the Linux Audio/MIDI genre

The Ides of March '24

It's upon us...

The good news are: just completed a successful migration to KDE Plasma 6 on ALL of the boxes in the house: 2 desktops and 3 laptops. No blisters found, hurray!
Huge congratulations to the KDE Team and all the unspoken contributors who made this a whole milestone and a quite smooth transition!

Now for the possible bad news: all upstream (that's me) QStuff* support for anything older than Qt6.0 is going to be scuttled, give or take a week, a month or two.

Moving forward... because, there's no other way ;)

Cheers
