Meet Kwi (pronounced “kwee”), a new GPU-accelerated terminal emulator that follows the latest KDE HIG and UI conventions, built on the libghostty-vt library from the Ghostty project, Kirigami, and KDE Frameworks. Compared to Konsole, KDE’s venerable terminal emulator, Kwi promises up to 35x faster performance that should reduce battery usage.
Coming two months after OpenShot 4.0, the OpenShot 4.1 release revamps the text workflow by creating text clips immediately at the playhead, adding support for editing text directly in the preview window with no external editor required, a floating style bar for the font, size, color, and alignment, and exposing typography options in the Properties dock.
Meet Superlight, a new system monitor app for Linux Mint that features graphs for CPU, RAM, swap, GPU, network, disk I/O, temperature, and fan speed. The app shows how much of the system’s resources each application uses, and the same data is available for all running processes, with a large variety of columns you can sort and reorder.
Coming seven and a half months after Enlightenment 0.27, the Enlightenment 0.28 release introduces a new NetworkManager module that supports Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Bluetooth networking, and VPNs, with network signal strength, security indicators, connection details, tooltips, and saved connection management.

Coming only a week after Shelly 3.1.9, the Shelly 3.1.10 continues to improve AUR builds by discovering and installing build dependencies before the prepare() function runs, including when an AUR package needs other AUR packages to build.

Developed by TUXEDO Computers, the system supports up to 128GB of DDR5 memory, dual NVMe SSDs, four 4K displays, and dual 2.5GbE connectivity. It can be used for software development, local AI workloads, and home server applications.
