Debian 12.10...is Out

Debian 12.10...is Out

Yes, Debian 12.10.. is out and may be the penultimate before Debian embark on version 13.

I just updated my 12.9.1..6 or something to see that the latest version is out.
Debian 21.10.... does not support Abiword hence I won't install it at all.

Reports are Coming that NATO Officers are Trapped in Kursk

Yes, reports are coming from Pro-Russian Underground Movement that lot of NATO Officers are Trapped in Kursk.
The exact number is unknown but may be much more than the 40 mentioned.
They are not foot soldiers but those who commanded the logistic hub including (drone operators) commanding.
It also understood that President Trump is trying to SAVE them from capture as prisoners (but logically they would be treated as mercineries).
NATO has not declared war against Russia and they are not protected by normal War Conventions.
EU chairperson Ursula vo der Laden may have to resign now. She openly supported Ukraine War both financially and tacticaly.
She is a No Brainer.
I wonder what the new NATO secretary could do to save NATO Officers.
I think Macron might have to resign since he is the politician who spearheaded the New NATO operations, if he has some self respect. He of course, does not have any self respect just as Boris Johnson who is born war monger.

Who Can Guess President Putin's Master Strategy

He is a master politician but has a military brain.
He could have wiped off the opposing ground troups but he choosed to gradually winding them down or use the tactics of attrition.
I do not have a military brain but I am learning.
In sports especially in cricket bashing or demolishion of the opposition is the strategy. In test cricket you play a waiting game.
British who maternined the Kursk Operation did not use the strategy and stamina of test cricket.
France as in second world war is a splash in the pan.
He was not interested in capturing the ground which he cannot protect. Kursk operation showed his under preparation which they protected losing nearly 30 million in the process to Germans during the second world war.
He did not repeat the same mistakes this time round. He did not want his soldiers to die but used modern tactics.
I am not undermining brave Ukrainian soldiers whom the Americans used as their pawns. Loosing one's comrades in bravado is not the choice. 
Loose the battle to win the war is the grand old style. 
American method of ruling the sky failed this time due to drone warfare which Russian have mastered in less than  3 years. My guess is President Putin wished to drag this till victory day in May. 
He is keeping this option close to his heart.
He does not want Wagner or Alaudin's demolition process.
He want that force to remain solid for another fight which if Macron wishes to engineer as the new putative  head of EU.

One does not play all the cards in poker unless you are good bluffer. Bluffing also works in war.

Rounding up of NATO military planners dug in in Kursk is a major blow to Macron and his newly designed NATO bullworks.

It is easy to advance when the adversaries are morally down. President Putin deferred and he is reaping dividends.
This is where Trump as a politician would fail but he is happy, deep in his mind, NATO is really down under, without implied American help.

Most Elegant KDE Desktop is?

Most Elegant KDE Desktop is?
 
1. BlueStarOS  of Arch Linux
 
2. Endevour OS of Arch Linux
Thank YOU very much.
 
What I use are
3. Debian Linux has a very pleasing KDE
It seamlessly integrate both Gnome and KDE applications.
 
4. Netrunner 25 Version
Desktop looks like a cellphone face
It organization of applications is excellent.
IT has the Synaptic Package Manager to install Gnome applications if one desires.
It boots slow and I do not like its gaudy boot front.
 
5. MX Linux KDE desktop
It has 3 versions which includes Flushbox and AHS.
I do not like its package Manager.
I ran it for a while and erased it due to this difficulty of accessing software I need.   
Some of them like Stacer, Revolt and Notepadqq are missing
 
6. Pop OS
I tried to use it with my PC with an OLD NVIDIA card it froze.
Current one mounts well on Box Utility.
No problem with English Language. 
2.9GB

7. TuxedoS
I have not tried on a PC or my NUC (scarred it would damage the Integrate Graphic card of my NUC due to overload.
It boot in German on Box Utility and it froze in mid air.
 
8. Neptune
Also come from Germany but lacks in applications.
 
9.  SevenOS- Version6
Now defunct

10. Xandros Version 3
Now Defunct

11. There are host of others I used Including Madriva, Mandrake(gone bust), SUSE (Tumbleweed is pretty good) and Red Hat (lost interest completely due to its coporate mentality).

Please note that from a KDE one cannot mount or boot cinnamon, mate or genome even if you install these windows or desktops using Synaptic Package Manager.
Their libraries do not match.
That is why I say mount or boot genome and then chose n number of other fancy desktops.
KDE for me is a pain in the arxxxx.
