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.
