KDE Plasma 6.7 vs. GNOME Shell 50.3 vs. Xfce 4.20 On CachyOS With NVIDIA Graphics
Earlier this month I provided a look at the KDE Plasma 6.7 Wayland vs. X11 session performance for graphics/gaming on CachyOS using NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 graphics. Since then Phoronix readers – including some premium supporters – requested seeing some additional desktops tested with the latest CachyOS packages.

Hmm …
My project pages have this “Downloads” section and I offer tarballs for each release:
https://movq.de/git/jenny/#downloads
I added this many years ago because an OpenBSD dev asked for it (but the project in question didn’t end up in their ports after all).
What are your thoughts on this? Is it necessary to offer tarballs?
I noticed that some distributions have already moved away from using tarballs and instead always clone from Git. 🤔
jenny stuff aside, I received zero bug reports or code contributions since leaving GitHub in 2018.
@prologic@twtxt.net Oh, yes, just for clarity: This wasn’t a “pro GitHub” argument. 😅 I won’t go back there (or to another “forge”).
I think we’re totally on the same page: Decentralized Git hosting is good, but we haven’t solved the “collaboration” part yet. Or rather: We have to modernize it. The tools are already there, but (many) people don’t want to use them and think they’re clunky.
