Lilbits: New Releases from KDE Plasma and Google Android, Plus Kobo Firmware on a NOOK eReader – Liliputing



The latest version of the KDE Plasma desktop environment for Linux-based operating systems has been released, bringing new features such as the ability to set up remote desktops from Settings, remember and restore windows from previous sessions on startup, and sync RGB keyboard colors with the Plasma desktop accent color. Meanwhile, an innovative user has figured out how to run Kobo software on a Barnes & Noble NOOK GlowLight Plus 7.8 tablet, offering an interesting combination of hardware and software. In the world of mobile operating systems, Google has released the third beta version of Android 15, signaling platform stability as all developer APIs have been finalized. This update includes features such as using a passcode to log into apps using facial recognition, fingerprint, or screen lock, adaptive timeout to automatically turn off the screen when not in use, an “Android Safe Browsing” option for online threat detection, and various UI changes.
