Mh, weird, tab groups are not working for me on 138.0.1, neither dragging one tab on another nor via right-click and a menu (have seen both around the web). I don't need to enable this? Maybe Simple Tab Groups is blocking this?

@thelinuxexperiment Worried some about Wikipedia using AI. But this sounds like the more reasonable uses. Tho, I guess only time will tell.

Instead of posting a video of aggregated news, why not just post the source links?

OP

What do you mean? It’s a video made by The Linux Experiment, where he talks about the news.

A friendly tip: From what I've seen, it's definitely better to get the net installer to the openSUSE leap beta.
And yeah, give Q4OS a try in a VM, Trinity is quite wonderful. XPQ4 as a proof of concept theme pack showcases amazingly what you can do theming-wise in Trinity.
