The weather in the news...
While I appreciate having the weather bar atop the SR web site, unlike most people reading the news online, I have little use for the link and even less use for Accuweather, but the story only begins there, for my tastes in what I allow on my computer desktop differs a lot from your typical Windows user.
That is because, for over five years and change, I have been nearly-exclusively running Linux in the GUI workstation mode, and for over two years using Ubuntu Linux workstation as my operating system of choice. For the benefit of those who do not understand what this GUI business is about, suffice it to say that my workstation appears to resemble Windows in some ways, since it uses the KDE desktop, and replicates nearly every function of Windows without any problems. While I still have two remaining computers that run Windows, a plain workstation and a laptop both used for development projects, I spend very little time using either.
On my KDE workstation, the KDE application Kweather is running cheerfully on the bottom bar.
