This week we talk about KDE wanting to push Plasma 6.8 into Wayland only territory. We also look at the rough edges that will probably still poke users and how long X11 might hang on before it finally gets kicked out. Venn checked out the ZimaBlade 7700 DIY NAS kit with its swappable RAM and actual PCIe slot. There is a quick bit on Linux Kernel 6.18 and its updates for gaming storage and hardware. And for dessert the 1 GB Raspberry Pi 5 shows up as the cheaper option right as RAM prices decide to climb again.Live recordings plus Video: https://www.patreon.com/lwdw Come say hi in Discord! https://discord.gg/uQVckr5gEZTimestamps00:00 Intro03:38 Linus visits Linus Tech Tips07:55 Exploding PC power supply adventure 18:18 KDE is going full-Wayland 26:51 ZimaBlade 7700 DIY NAS33:24 Linux kernel 6.1839:07 New 1GB RasPi 5 and price increases Show Links KDE Wayland announcement:https://blogs.kde.org/2025/11/26/going-all-in-on-a-wayland-future/ZimaBlade 7700 DIY NAS kit:https://interfacinglinux.com/2025/12/01/zimablade-7700-diy-nas-kit/Linux Kernel 6.18 overview:https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2025/11/linux-kernel-6-18-new-features1 GB Raspberry Pi 5 announcement:https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/1gb-raspberry-pi-5-now-available-at-45-and-memory-driven-price-rises/
