Give bash Windows-like clear behaviour

That's one of the things i greately dislike about linux.
The clear command seems to just scroll the terminal down, and the last text line is just one row above where the cursor ends up being after clear. As you scroll up clear lost all its utility.
Compare that to the cls on windows, that actually clears the current terminal window of all the history. Scrolling up you will stop at the first line after the cls command was called.
Is there any way to make linux do that too? Maybe aliasing cls instead of replacing clear

IWD rocks as wpa_supplicant alternative!

Just tested it several hours and found these improvements:

* less load time of big websites
* faster connect to AP
* interactive signal levels in cli mode
* WPS pin & push button support out the box
* list of hidden networks out the box
* works with/without NM

What is the main differences between Rhel Server vs Rhel Workstation?

I want to use Rhel, but without a subnoscription, I can only download free by developer account for Rhel Server. I will use it on my Workstation Dell T5820. Are there any differences between Rhel Server and Rhel Workstation setups?

Need someone to test a PR to Electron for me that uses KDE

I checked the rules and I did not find that this broke any of them. This seems pretty relevant to KDE Linux users, so cross posting this from r/kde.

I am the author of a PR to bring the Qt file chooser to Electron using XDG Desktop Portal and GtkFileChooserNativeDialog. I have gone into more detail at the KDE subreddit if you are interested in helping me test this. It should fix a lot of KDE users' complaints about Electron.
